The Care and Support (Direct Payments) (Amendment) Regulations 2016
Regulation 2 of these Regulations omits Staffordshire County Council from Schedule 2 to the Care and Support (Direct Payments) Regulations 2014 (the 2014 Regulations) so that they may no longer make direct payments for the provision of accommodation in a care home for a period of more than 4 consecutive weeks in any 12 month period.
