A NEW charging scheme for non-residential services such as home and day-care has been approved by North Yorkshire social services.
The system will see new support to help people claim welfare benefits as well as a detailed means test.
Councillor Murray Naylor, county council executive member for social services, said the scheme had to be changed to comply with new Government rules but there had been widespread public consultation.
The scheme will be implemented from April and those affected will be notified.
