The Discretionary Test and Trace Support
Payment Scheme was approved as presented in the report which
ensures that the policy and approach is consistent with that taken
by Local Authorities across Greater Manchester
RESOLVED - That the proposed Discretionary
Test and Trace Support Payment Policy is approved as set out in the
main body of this report at paragraphs 1.15 -1.19. This will
support people on a low income who are not eligible for the Test
and Trace Support Payment scheme and will target the limited
support available to help those in most need to self- isolate. It
also complies with the mandatory criteria set by the Government for
the discretionary scheme. This approach also ensures that the
policy is consistent with the approach taken by Local Authorities
across Greater Manchester.
