Social Security Act 1964
Maximum Contribution Applying in Each Territorial Local Authority Region From 1 July 2006
Under section 152 of the Social Security Act 1964, the Director-General of Health is required to notify the maximum contribution that applies in each region.
The maximum contribution is the maximum weekly amount (inclusive of GST) that a resident assessed as requiring long-term residential care is required to pay for contracted care services provided to them in the region in which their rest home or continuing care hospital is located.
Contracted care services are services provided to needs assessed people in a rest home or continuing care hospital that has a contract with a District Health Board. The services provided are those necessary to meet the person’s assessed care needs in accordance with the agreement between the District Health Board and the residential care provider.
The agreement covers:
- residents who are eligible for the residential care subsidy (as determined through a financial means assessment under section 141 of the Act); and
- needs assessed persons who are entitled to have funding paid on their behalf (under section 140) to cover the difference between the maximum contribution and the cost of contracted care services provided to them.
The maximum contribution is the same for all residents regardless of the type of contracted care services they receive.
The maximum contribution set by this New Zealand Gazette notice applies from 1 July 2006 and replaces the previous maximum contribution notice published in the New Zealand Gazette, 2 March 2006, No. 19, page 441.
It is equivalent to the most recent, nationally agreed rest home contract price applying to residential care facilities in each territorial local authority region.
The maximum contribution will change only when a new maximum contribution is gazetted.
New maximum contributions will reflect changes to rest home contract prices that usually result from the annual review of the residential care contract between District Health Boards and residential care providers.
