(2)             That Option 1 as set out at paragraphs 4.3 – 4.7 of the report and the establishment of a consistent, claim-based approach across all adult social care providers to meet identified additional Covid-19 related costs on a case by case basis by an individual provider of adult social care services be agreed;

For assurance purposes, a full report on the 2020/2021 Better Care Fund, including details of these additional pooled funding arrangements for hospital discharge will be presented to the September 2020 meeting of the Health & Wellbeing Board.
