| Annotation | This guidance explains the changes to local authority social services departments' charging regime for intermediate care and community equipment services resulting from the Community Care (Delayed Discharges etc) Act 2003, with effect from 9 June 2003. The regulations making these changes are attached with this guidance: The Community Care (Delayed Discharges etc) Act (Qualifying Services)(England) Regulations 2003" (Statutory Instrument 2003 No. 1196). The removal of charging should make it simpler to develop pooled budgets for intermediate care and community equipment services. However, Councils retain the discretion to make a charge in relation to minor adaptations that exceed £1,000 to provide. (KJ/RH). |
