star this property answer text <p>Local authorities are responsible for assessing individuals’ care and support needs and, where eligible, for meeting those needs. Where individuals do not meet the eligibility threshold, they can get support from their local authorities in making their own arrangements for care services, as set out in the Care Act 2014.</p><p> </p><p>Eligible needs are those which relate to, for example, maintaining personal hygiene and nutrition, and maintaining and developing relationships, and which significantly impact on the adult’s wellbeing. Full details of the eligibility requirements can be found in The Care and Support (Eligibility Criteria) Regulations 2014.</p><p> </p><p>We do not currently hold data on how many applications for social care have been assessed for need. Through a new data collection, Client Level Data, we are beginning to collect event-level information from local authorities on adult social care activity. This will include records of assessment of eligible needs and the funding status of local authority-commissioned services.</p><p> </p><p>To assess means, local authorities must follow The Care and Support (Charging and Assessment of Resources) Regulations 2014 and have regard to the Care and Support Statutory (CASS) guidance. The responsibility for interpreting and applying the Regulations and the CASS guidance rests with local authorities.</p><p> </p><p>Whether or not a person qualifies for any financial support towards their care costs depends on their capital assets as follows: anyone who has above the upper capital limit of £23,250 is expected to meet the full cost of their care; anyone who has below the lower capital limit of £14,250 pays what they can afford from income only; and anyone between the above two limits pays what they can afford from income plus a contribution from their assets.</p><p> </p><p>A means-tested contribution from assets is determined by tariff income, which assumes that a person can afford to pay £1 per week for every £250 of assets between the limits. In 2021/22 there were almost 1,978,550 requests for support from new clients received by local authorities. Data on the funding of means testing done in the past 10 years is not held centrally.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Supporting hospital flow and reducing delayed discharges requires a whole system approach across the National Health Service, adult social care, housing, the voluntary sector and others. Hospital discharge services are therefore supported by staff across a range of health and social care professions in England and in York.</p><p>We have committed at least £500 million to develop the social care workforce, including for training places and for initiatives to improve wellbeing. We are also promoting adult social care careers through national recruitment campaigns, such as ‘Made with Care’ which ran between November 2021 and 31 March 2022. A further campaign for 2022/23 is in development. We are also working with the Department of Work and Pensions to promote adult social care careers to jobseekers. Care workers have been made eligible for the Health and Care Visa and added to the Shortage Occupation List to allow social care employers to recruit eligible workers from overseas.</p><p>In winter 2021/22, we made £462.5 million available to local authorities to increase workforce capacity via the Workforce Recruitment and Retention Funds, including £1,410,240 allocated to York. We have regular discussions with stakeholders, including local government representatives, on a range of issues including the adult social care workforce.</p>
