self-funder administration fee
Kensington and Chelsea Council is considering a new self-funder administration fee for adult social care to address budget shortfalls.
Kensington and Chelsea Council is considering introducing a self-funder administration fee for residents who pay for their own adult social care but ask the council to arrange it. The Adult Social Care & Health Select Committee discussed this proposal in November 2025 as part of a broader review of budget proposals for the 2026/27 financial year.
The council estimates this new fee could save £150,000 in 2026/27. This proposal is part of the council's efforts to address a significant budget shortfall, which could reach £140 million by 2029/30.
