This is the script for the first part of the Radio assessment. I took the story from a Hampshire County Council meeting that we visited as part of our course.
Hampshire County Council has agreed to change the way social care is paid for in the area because the current system is thought to be unfair.
In a meeting this past week it was agreed that those who need social care will all have their own individualised budget tailored to their needs. The new plan would ensure that people contribute to their own care based on their ability to pay, not the services they choose.
The new policy will mean an average increase of between twenty eight and thirty six pounds per week for those affected. With heavy cuts to the council’s budget this plan would mean less contribution from the council to certain users of social care whilst others who are less able to pay would receive a larger grant.
There it is; the next part of the assessment will be uploaded (with audio unless there are any technical hitches) by next Thursday.
Until Next Time. Stay Classy Internet.
