Dear Ms. Smith

I refer to your request for information, which was received on 22^nd
November, 2018 and has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000.

The specific information you requested was as follows:

I am trying to find out how much you currently pay per hour to providers
of supported living service providers?

I know there are a lot of areas to consider so my question relates to

Adults with learning disabilities

Adults with mental health needs

Adults with physical disabilities

Adults with complex health needs

Adults with Challenging behaviour?

In response

Supported Living is commissioned under the Community Based services spot
contract. Referrals are sent to the approved providers in the form of an
expression of interest. The provider is required to respond, outlining how
they will be able to meet the individual’s needs and provide a cost matrix
for the service. The rate per hour may therefore differ according to the
level of support required, we don’t commission/pay according to service
user group.
