Decision details

To allocate 80% of the Government’s Adult Social Care Infection Control Fund Round 2 on a per bed/ per user basis to care homes (£2,923,022) and community care providers (£1,335,042) in two instalments in line with the Government’s grant conditions.

The first instalment of £2,129,032 will be paid by 29^th October 2020 and the second instalment of the same amount will be paid in December 2020 subject to the grant conditions being met.

Local authorities are required to prioritise passing on the ‘per bed’/’per user’ allocation to care homes and CQC-regulated community care providers (domiciliary care, extra care and supported living) in their geographical area. The Government expectation is that this should take no longer than 20 working days upon receipt of the funding in a local authority, subject to providers meeting the Government (i.e. 29^th October).
