Care England launches JR against Essex Council re fees it pays to independent care homes

Care England is deeply concerned about the Council’s conduct towards the care home market within Essex and as a result, the sustainability of that market”.

The Judicial Review challenge brought by Care England seeks to challenge the lawfulness of the Council’s fee setting decision in respect of the Old Contract and its refusal to review the rates under the New Contract.  Care England believes the Council’s actions to date to be a breach of its responsibilities under the Care Act 2014.

This is an important challenge in support of providers in Essex and those new and existing residents receiving care
