Care home fees judgment due tomorrow
THE owners of four care homes which took Pembrokeshire County Council to court following claims over the "chronic underpayment of fees" will hear the outcome of the case tomorrow (December 21).
In the judicial review, which ran into a fourth day at the High Court in Cardiff on Friday, Pembrokeshire council conceded that errors had been made while calculating the fees it pays to care homes looking after vulnerable and elderly people.
The four care homes - Woodland Lodge, Pen-Coed, Woodfield and Langton Hall - had disputed the amount the council pays them for each resident per week and will be paid £25,000 between them, the amount under-paid during this financial year.
Full details of the case, Forest Care Homes v Pembrokeshire County Council, will be published on this website after The Honourable Mr Justice G Hickinbottom concludes with his judgment tomorrow.
