	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>The Autumn Budget 2018 announced an additional £650 million in 2019-20 for social care. Within this, local councils will receive £240 million for adult social care. This will make sure people can leave hospital when they are ready, into a care setting that best meets their needs. This will help the NHS to free up the beds it needs over winter. This repeats the £240 million for local councils for adult social care to alleviate winter pressures in 2018-19.</p><p>The Budget announced a further £410 million in 2019-20 for adults and children’s social care. Where necessary, local councils should use this funding to ensure that adult social care pressures do not create additional demand on the NHS. Local councils can also use it to improve their social care offer for older people, people with disabilities and children.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 03/12/2018 13:34:13 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
