Request

1. How many individual domiciliary care contracts have been handed back to you by providers in the years below. Please also detail the number of hours of care that were contained in those contracts per week, and if available the reasons why the contracts were handed back. 

A.      The current financial year to date  

B.      21/22  

 For clarity by care contracts, we mean an agreement entered into between your local authority and a care provider which relates to a support/care package for an individual. 

  For example:  

22/23 - 3 contracts, 21 hours of care per week, couldn't find staff for care packages 

21/22 - 2 contracts, 16 hours of care per week, 1 couldn't find staff, 1 care provider went bust 

The data should include private and third sector providers, and should include any kind of care or support package commissioned by the local authority.
