The Scottish Government has set out details for implementing the uplift to £10.02 per hour in a letter dated 12/11/2021. The uplift comes into effect from 1st December 2021 and the Scottish Government has confirmed that housing support staff are included within the scope of this uplift regardless of whether a service is commissioned by the HSCP or the LA. HSCPs/LAs are expected to fund the uplift through contracts with providers before or during February 2022. Funding for the uplift will be calculated on the basis of:
- 71% of the contract value for residential care
- 86% of the contract value for non-residential care
If you experience delays in being reimbursed for this uplift the Unit can help to raise this at a national level – please contact yvette.burgess@ccpscotland.org
