> - 'z’aét‘ herefordtimescom Finding new care service fundin By Paul Broome 01432 845879 pbn’éflherefordtimescom Twitter @HTnewsroom DRASTIC. government cuts and an increase in demand on adult care services are behind a review into the county’s care and support charging policy. Herefordshire Council says its central government cash will be all but eliminated from its current level of £26million to less than film by 2020. The authority says that in 2016/17 alone its government funding will reduce by £9m which, taking into account rising adult social care costs, means savings of nearly £11m will need to be made. As a result the council says it must consider different ways of delivering services. The consultation includes six proposals which include re- moving joint assessments for couples, charging for arrang- ing support for self-funders, charging for telecare, and making changes to payments. Cllr Patricia Morgan, Cabi- net member for health and Herefordshire Council is seeking new ways to pay for adult social care as central government funding is reduced wellbeing, said: “We are cur- rently considering increasing council tax to support rising adult social care costs; a move supported by the government, which acknowledges that cur- rent adult social care funding is insufficient to meet demand. “This will not resolve the situation and we need to make additional savings across the council, which could mean further changes to services and increases in council tax.“ The consultation is available until March 11.
