An important consultation has just been opened on proposed changes to the way in which adult social care is charged.

NYCC is consulting on proposals about how people who use adult social care services contribute to their costs. The consultation covers two main areas:

• the cost of transport to places where people may receive a service; and
• how the total cost of care is calculated.

Please go to our ‘Have your say‘ page to read about details of the proposed changes and how you can have your say.
