FLINTSHIRE and Wrexham Councils have defended their support for care homes after being included in a league of shame by Care Forum Wales. A “terrible ten” local authorities who pay the lowest care home fees in Wales have been named and shamed – including five of the six councils in North Wales. According to industry champions Care Forum Wales (CFW), care homes are the victims of an untenable post code lottery which means they are paid wildly differing fees depending on which county they are in. Flintshire and Wrexham were sixth and eighth in the list. Flintshire Council agreed that social care funding in Wales and across the UK needs to be greatly increased and be sustained into the future.
