The average bed rate and numbers only (for the same cohort of older people) for year three is provided. We no longer work from a banded model and do not hold information about proportions
We can further clarify that in year 3 (2018/19) a personalised fee model was introduced. The total number of Care Hours determined for each client are multiplied by an hourly rate. In addition a fixed accommodation fee is added to give a total rate per week. See attached for rates. From this point onwards placements on a banded rate ceased.
