It was up for review after the big hike last year. Next year may be worse as the review will also be looking at regional variants.What lovely people they are!!!
From the link......Regional variants?
Isn't it all a bit academic anyway? It goes straight to the nursing home -or it did in our case and all the homes I visited - around 14 in total - quoted their fees with the nursing component already deducted.
Around here the majority of NH include the FNC as part of the total price. So this decrease will mean a £1.20/week increase in the top up.Isn't it all a bit academic anyway?

Not much but when I had to move Mom last August the FNC had just been increased and the admin person doing the tours said it would mean that the top up would therefore decrease by £40'ish. It did not work out that way as when it came time to sign the contract the total price had been put up by the owner.
I am saying that my experience is the opposite. If the FNC had already been absorbed into the NH Mom is in then the top up would not be going up, which it is.I think this is what I meant Pete. It just gets absorbed into their system.
Whenever I was quoted the cost of the fees and then asked about the deduction of FNC, the response was that it had already been deducted.
