09/03/2023 - Care Home and Home Support Rates ref: 10959 Recommendations Approved
Nationally fair cost of care exercise has been undertaken, this was an opportunity for local authority commissioners and local care providers to work together to arrive at a shared understanding of what it costs to run quality and sustainable care provision in the local area and that is reflective of local circumstances. This year we have engaged local providers to shape and improve the local social care sector and identify improvements in relation to workforce, quality of care delivered, and choice available for people who draw on care.
We have set our rates this year based on engagement with Kirklees Care Association. We have reflected the rates to respond to pressures and feedback from the sector within resources available and the decisions are taken within the delegated powers that I have.
The uplifts will be applied by Client Financial Affairs and are effective from 10 April 2023.
Care Home Rates
In addition to the fees set out above, in respect of Service Users who are assessed as ‘requiring the help of a registered nurse’, a nationally agreed Funded Nursing Care payment is paid by the NHS.
Home Support Rate

13/02/2023 - Renewal of Liquidlogic contract - Children's Services Case Management System ref: 10915 Recommendations Approved
Kirklees Children’s Services have been using Liquidlogic as their recording system since procurement in 2016. Since implementation in 2018, the system has been further developed continuously and further modules have been purchased which bring added benefits to the service. Awarding the contract to Liquidlogic again would be the best and most cost-effective way of ensuring we have a fit for purpose recording system that is already embedded and used by all practitioners within Children’s Services.
Going down the procurement route to procure a completely new recording system was rejected.
