Examples of Headline Fee in a sentence
A flat rate deduction to the Headline Fee of £20 may be applied to incentivise Providers to improve their performance as evidenced by the QAF grading system.
Where a Care Home receives a QAF score of 2 or less in the themed area of ‘Quality of Care and Support’, and where that Care Home has previously been graded at that level or below in that theme, the £20 Reduced Quality Deduction per Resident per week will normally be deducted from the Headline Fee (for both nursing and residential Care Homes).
