Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Adult Services considered a proposed amendment to the Schedule of Fees and Charges approved by Council on 25th February 2010.

 

Cheshire East Council operated client charges within the Non-Residential Charging Policy which applied to various services including day care provision across all service groups. Mental Health Plus users were not included for means test historically as the service was originally a drop-in provision. Mental Health Plus had now developed into sessional day care provision and the charging policy needed to apply consistently across all service groups.
