There are currently approximately 50 citizens in receipt of a telephone line paid for by Adult Social Care. Payment of these telephone lines relates to a duty outlined in the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970 (CSDPA). Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970 (legislation.gov.uk) Section 2 (h) of the CSDPA places a duty on the local authority for: ‘the provision for that person of, or assistance to that person in obtaining, a telephone and any special equipment necessary to enable him to use a telephone’, It is intended to review each citizen and establish whether they require the assistance of the Council to continue having a telephone. If they have no other means of maintaining access to a telephone the Council will consider whether the duty under Section 2 (h) is still applicable. If it considers that Section 2(h) is still applicable the Council will continue to pay for the telephone line.

The annual budget pressure is approximately £74,000. This is currently supporting 5 Lunch Clubs across the city. The money allocated to each Lunch Club is calculated on an individual basis at the start of the financial year. The larger Lunch Clubs tend to use their allocated monies for cater
