answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2014 answer text <p>Contracting arrangements between local authorities and independent sector care homes are a matter for local negotiation and decision. The Government does not set or recommend the level of the fees that local authorities pay.</p><p> </p><p>We would expect decisions taken by councils commissioning care home places to be made on the basis of judgements about quality, best value and the outcomes for individual residents. Local authorities are major purchasers of care home places and are often able to negotiate very competitive rates with care providers.</p><p> </p><p>Providers are free to decide the rates they offer to residents whose care has not been arranged by a local authority.
