To implement the Charging Module to support Government Funding Reform by April 2023 (to be funded Finance Business Unit).

 

Reasons for the decision:

This is essential expenditure which is required to ensure that Adult Social Care can manage payments to care providers and deliver against the Adult Social Care Reforms due to come into place in October 2023.
