Decision is needed to enable sufficient
provision of Older Persons Residential and Older Persons Nursing
care beds across Kent so that the market can fulfil KCC’s
statutory duty to place those assessed as requiring this type of
care. By securing sufficient provision at a ‘fair
price’ for all those in need of residential/nursing care, KCC

• Support the transformation of health and social care in
Kent.
• Improve services for the most vulnerable people in Kent.
