Jeremy Porteus 30/04/15 General Housing Topics

The Welsh Government has announced a further £20m in the Intermediate Care Fund in 2015/16 to continue projects which have proven to be successful in helping older and vulnerable people remain in their own homes. The recurring revenue fund will support schemes which improve out-of-hospital care and helping people to return home from hospital, help reduce pressure on unscheduled care services and hospital admissions and will add vital new resources to care in the community.
The regional allocations are:
•North Wales - £4.78m
•Mid and West Wales - £3.76m
•Western Bay - £3.46m
•Cwm Taf - £1.94m
•Gwent - £3.6m
•Cardiff and Vale - £2.46m.
The allocation also includes £2.5m to identify those areas of good practice within the regional partnerships and ensure they are spread across Wales.
