BURNHAM people are being asked by Somerset County Council to give their views on a proposed change to charging for the sitting service.

The sitting service allows carers to take a break from caring by providing trained staff to ‘stand in’ for carers and look after the person they care for.

The county council currently subsidises this service but is proposing to remove this to bring this in line with the way it charges for other, similar services.
