Recommendation 62
62
Paragraph: 210
“By-the-minute” commissioning damages care continuity due to chronic social care underfunding.
Conclusion
The practice of “by-the-minute” commissioning is having a devastating impact on the continuity of care offered to service users and the terms and conditions under which workers must provide care. The reality is that some care is commissioned in this way because social care is chronically underfunded by central Government. It is within the Government’s gift to remedy this situation by providing adequate funding to the social care sector.
