Wirral care homes in new battle over fees

The WCA spokesman said the council was “going down the same path we went down last year” and they expect the council to tell them either they accept the new conditions or no residents would be placed with them.

He said: “Our argument is we have an independent report which says they should pay more.”

Next week Wirral Council will also be asked to vote on a notice of motion by Conservative councillors Tony Pritchard and Geoffrey Watt which speaks of the “potential risk to the well being of service users”.
