Freedom of Information Act 2000 – Request for Information

We are pleased to respond to your request for information and our response is set out below:

Request /Response

Please would you kindly answer the following questions?

1) The total number of people you have in 'live in' care and the number in each of the following client groups: over 65 year old’s, dementia, mental health, physical disabilities and learning disabilities. If you have any placement numbers on any other client categories, not listed above please supply these as well?   

The CCG does not commission ‘live in’ care within an individuals own home setting.  We do have care provision within supported living which covers a 24 hour period however this is provided by a number of different carers over a 24 hour period.

2) The current placement numbers, average weekly cost, range of weekly costs and names of providers you have providing services on a spot contract basis?

Please see the response to Q1.

3) The current placement numbers and names of providers you have providing services under any framework or block contracting arrangement? Please provide the average weekly cost, range of weekly costs, any individual annual lot size values and commencement and expiry dates for any current framework and block contracts. Also please provide details of any forthcoming ones?

No framework or block contract arrangements in relation to ‘live in’ carer.  The CCG does access the Council’s supported living frameworks for individuals where they become CHC wholly funded due to ensure that there is no disruption to care provision as eligibility changes from social care to health.

4) The names, job titles, telephone numbers and email addresses of the responsible Commissioning Managers or Brokerage Officers for these placements?

Brokerage team at Sheffield city council Brokerage@sheffield.gov.uk

5)  Details of any partnership procurement and contracting arrangements you have with other CCG’s or Local Authorities for 'live in' care services?  

None.

6)  Whether you commission from regulated providers only or introductory ones as well?

All care providers must be registered with CQC.

7)  Any policies/changes to policy on 'live in' care, in light of Covid and recent case law changes?

Not applicable.
