An organisation that represents care providers in Wales has dramatically quit a group set up to discuss fees.
The decision by Care Forum Wales (CFW) to resign from the North Wales Care Fees Group comes amid claims that the region’s councils are “deprioritising care” even though they have been given more money by the Welsh Government to pay for it.
In response local authorities said the rates were set based on inflation, sector costs, the allocation from Welsh Government and consideration for council tax bills for local ratepayers.
