Sleep In Payments

The request was successful.

Dear Lancashire County Council,

With reference to the payment of sleep in payments for adult social care providers, please can you confirm the following:-

1. The current range of sleep in payments (lowest hourly to highest hourly payment) made by the authority to social care providers. For the avoidance of doubt if you pay a provider £28.50 for a 10 hourly sleep in, this equates to £2.85 per hour.

2. The average of all hourly payments (as detailed above) made to social care providers for a sleep in across the authority.

Yours faithfully,

Mike Barton

Dear Mr Barton,
 
Request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
 
Further to your request for information made under the provisions of the
above Act, please see below the response we received from our Contract
Team.
 
Request:
 
With reference to the payment of sleep in payments for adult social care
providers, please can you confirm the following:-
 
1. The current range of sleep in payments (lowest hourly to highest hourly
payment) made by the authority to social care providers. For the avoidance
of doubt if you pay a provider £28.50 for a 10 hourly sleep in, this
equates to £2.85 per hour.
 
2. The average of all hourly payments (as detailed above) made to social
care providers for a sleep in across the authority. 
 
Response:      
 
I have been advised that Lancashire County Council only have two sleep-in
rates - £37.19 per night, which is the standard sleep-in rate and £37.43,
which is the rate agreed with Alternative Futures Group.
 
It would be misleading to break it down into an hourly rate because our
providers don't uniformly have a 10hr night time. However, based on the
assumption made in your request, the average hourly rate based on the two
rates above would be £3.73.
 
I hope the above is informative.
 
Should you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
 
Yours sincerely,
