Please note that if you have already been accepted on the DPS, you do not need to re-apply.
The Council has been moving forward with a new approach since the DPS was originally set up to support residential and nursing placements through Preferred Provider and brokerage systems. The new brokerage service has been working with Preferred Providers to help older people easily and quickly source care of their choice that is of good quality, local and affordable. Providers are asked to apply to the DPS to become a Preferred Provider of the Council. Preferred Providers will be those that contract for, and make available affordable residential and nursing beds, in relation to the local Council's Expected to Pay Rate.
