Sefton Council has been called “disgraceful” over the way it handled setting fee increases for adult social care.
The remarks were made by care home manager Jonathan Cunningham, who addressed a meeting of the council’s cabinet at Bootle Town Hall over plans for a 16% fee increase for adult social care provision across residential nursing and care provision, including for people with dementia.
Mr Cunningham who runs a number of care homes in the borough said the increase was “inadequate” and didn’t reflect the cost of care.
