The commissioning of care and support services is a matter for local authorities, who are best placed to understand and plan for the care needs of their local populations. Under the Care Act 2014, local authorities are required to shape their local markets and ensure that people have a range of high-quality, sustainable, and person-centred care and support options available to them.</p><p> </p><p>Providers entering and exiting, including changes to local authority provided services, is a normal part of a functioning market and local authorities should have appropriate plans in place to minimise any impacts.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 26/01/2022 11:46:04 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2022 answer text <p>The commissioning of care and support services is a matter for local authorities, who are best placed to understand and plan for the care needs of their local populations. There are currently 271 active locations registered as care homes in the county of Derbyshire. Of these, nine are rated outstanding, 200 are rated as good, 52 are rated as requires improvement and seven are rated as inadequate. Three services do not currently have a rating.</p><p> </p><p>No assessment has been made of the proposals by Derbyshire County Council.</p><p>Under the Care Act 2014, local authorities have a temporary duty to ensure people’s needs for care and support continue to be met if a provider fails or exits the market due to business failure. This ensures that people continue to receive the care and support they need if their adult social care provider is no longer able to carry on delivering services.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 26/01/2022 11:48:02 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall
