Explanatory note

These Regulations provide that a local authority must exclude costs of meeting needs from a person’s personal budget in certain circumstances if the costs are incurred in meeting needs by the provision to the person of intermediate care and reablement support services.

Regulation 2 provides that in cases where intermediate care and reablement support services are provided, the costs of doing so must be excluded from the adult’s personal budget if the local authority is not permitted to make a charge for providing the services by regulations made under section 14 of the Care Act 2014, or, if it is permitted to make a charge, it does not do so.
