The Cabinet Member considered a report on proposals to increase the Council’s Non-Residential charges for 2024/25 in line with increased costs and inflation. It was noted that as the Welsh Government had set a financial cap of £100 charge for non- residential care there would be little benefit in increasing charges beyond inflation. However, although inflation would only return a minimal increase in income for the authority, it was essential charges were increased to reflect inflationary costs. In noting that the figures shown in the report for the next year were based on existing Welsh Governments announcements and that there was no indication that a change would occur beyond 2025-26, further increases to the charges may be necessary should the Welsh Government amend the charging rules. Furthermore, the additional income accrued would depend entirely on the ability to pay for the individuals requiring care, the Cabinet Member felt strongly that the Welsh Government needed to further review the financial cap. RESOLVED that: 3.1 Carmarthenshire increase its Non-Residential charges for hourly charged services by inflation from £22.00 to £23.85 (%) and sessional charges from £19.55 to £23.85 (10%).

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
