Dear Mr Andrews

Thank you for your request seeking information regarding residential care
costs.

Unfortunately we are unclear about what information you are seeking, and
thus we are unable to process your request. We would be obliged if you
could please confirm if your request can be rephrased to allow us to
locate the information that you are seeking.

In your request you state:

• The typical cost that would be charged to a member of the public , for
a care home, per week, procured by the council (assuming no
reliefs/discounts applicable). Please could you tell me the weekly
price for residential care, nursing care and nursing care with
dementia. For each pls can you itemise separately the personal care
element.
• The typical cost that would be charged to a member of the public, for
an hour of home care procured by the council (assuming no
reliefs/discounts applicable). Please could you itemise separately the
personal care element if one exists.

Can you explain what you mean by 'typical cost (assuming no
reliefs/discounts applicable)'.

For example is it:

 1. How much would a person liable for full cost be charged?
 2. what is the average all 10,000 citizens currently pay for residential
and non-residential care?
 3. What is the minimum and what is the maximum for full cost.

As soon as we receive your revised request, we will respond within 20
working days. If we have not received a response after 90 days we will
close the request. In this instance we will close the record on 10 May
2022.

If you are not satisfied with the decision, you may ask for an internal
review by officers not involved in the handling of this original request.
