They indeed do get performance related bonuses. It’s always instructive reading end of financial year business plans and the pay bands of senior managers, who they are and how they are renumerated. Oh and our team manager is on performance related pay scale too.

Who gets performance related bonus’ in Local Authorities? Senior leadership don’t.

I believe that a fundamental lack of practitioners on the ground and cut backs in commissioning workers is actually costing more money

Perhaps ‘Sector Leaders’ can do a deal with the government do that every time they ask us to draw up a different care plan because the one we submitted is “not cost effective” and justify refusal by “reminding” us that they are “Custodians of public money” they can get an extra few quid. Give us more so we can spend less is one I’m stealing from Tahin.

If this is what being talked about by DASSs they need to skill up in the law.
