budget papers

BUDGET PAPERS


					Financial Effect	Breakdown of Financial Effect
Service	Proposal			Impact on Service	2010/11	Efficiency	Income Generation	Reduction in Service
Care Homes for the Elderly	Currently maximum yearly respite is 8 weeks per client. Withdraw/Reduce number of dedicated respite beds by 20% (2 beds) and replace with 2 additional permanent places.			This would realign the service to take account of current service user requirements / demand for permanent placements within TACUN, Trainaid and Harris House.	2000		2000

Committee	Service Reduction Proposal	Impact on service	2010/11 Saving £k
Joint Services	Withdraw respite bed at one Independent Care Home which is currently occupied for less than 50% of the year.	Would reduce respite availability, adverse impact on national performance indicator for respite provision. However, due to the low utilisation - less than 50% occupancy it provides a cost saving opportunity.	$23,000


Please Note: These changes reflect the increase in complex care packaging (20+ hour packages) and the consequent respite provision for users and carers in the community rather than in residential settings. Users are able to stay longer in the community with greater support and therefore demand for residential respite places in discreet areas of the Western Isles has reduced.
