use in Aberdeen City, with an amendment to reflect routine and significant claims.

The Board had before it a report from the Chief Officer, ACHSCP which sought approval of the Aberdeen City Carers Expenses Policy.

Since that report there had been consultation and inclusion of other IJB’s and Carers across Scotland with the intention of equitable conditions and renumeration for both Carers and lay persons who are members of the Board(s).

The report recommended :-

that the Board approve the Carers Expenses Policy contained in Appendix A for use in Aberdeen City.

to approve the recommendations with an amendment to reflect routine and significant claims.
