Clawbacks and refunds requested from care providers - Find a freedom of information request

For your last 2 financial years, I would like to request the total amount (as a single cost figure, e.g. £100,000) of clawbacks and refunds your council has requested from care providers, specifically those providing care for the elderly including; residential homes, nursing homes and domiciliary care providers.



Clawback amounts frequently appear on remittance advice to care providers, they instruct providers to use credit the council has with the provider as payment towards other outstanding invoices. I am hoping to use this information to understand the amount overpaid to care providers (and later reclaimed) before trying to identify the reasons behind overpayments.

 I can confirm that the following information is held by Lincolnshire County Council;

Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) do not hold information on Residential or Nursing care provider clawbacks.

LCC can provide the requested data for homecare providers.

1. Homecare provider clawbacks
    2022/2023 - £331,037
    2023/2024 - £266,081
