In January, we shared with you an open letter to Hampshire County Council outlining our fee position, following which they announced their uplifts.

Since then, and in response to queries from Members, we have been reviewing the Council’s fee uplift methodology. 

Today, we wrote an open letter to Jess Hutchinson, Director of Adult Social Care, to outline our concerns about the Council's methodology and to request a dedicated face-to-face meeting to discuss this issue in more detail. 

Acting as a strong voice for our members has never been more important and we will continue to lobby and advocate on your behalf.

Please note we are also reviewing Portsmouth and Southampton's fee announcements too.
