	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2018 answer text <p>The £2 billion for adult social care announced at Spring Budget 2017 has been allocated almost entirely using the improved Better Care Fund formula, which takes account of ability to raise money through the council tax precept for social care. That means it is very well targeted at areas of greater need and market fragility. However, as we recognise that all councils face social care pressures, 10 per cent of the funding is allocated using the Relative Needs Formula (RNF). All the additional £2 billion supplemented the improved Better Care Fund and is to be used for those purposes.</p><p>As part of the Local Government Finance Settlement in 2017-18, Government also provided £241 million of funding through the Adult Social Care Support Grant, allocated entirely using the RNF. And in February 2018, the Local Government Finance Settlement announced Adult Social Care Support Grant for 2018-19 of £150 million.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 07/06/2018 16:23:07 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2016 answer text <p>Social care is a means tested service. The Care Act 2014 requires that local authorities must assess any adult who appears to have a care and support need. Where a person has needs which do not meet the national eligibility criteria, as set out in the Care Act, their local authority must provide the person with information and advice on what support is available in the community to meet those needs.</p><p> </p><p>The Autumn 2015 Spending Review announced that local authorities who are responsible for social care would have the ability to raise additional funding to spend exclusively on adult social care. If all local authorities use this to its maximum effect it could raise nearly £2 billion a year by 2019-20. 95% of local authorities have taken up the precept in 2016-17, raising £382 million extra for social care this year, in line with the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast. In addition from 2017 the Spending Review made available new funds for social care services, rising to £1.5 billion by 2019-20. This will be made available to local authorities directly and is to be included in an improved Better Care Fund.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat grouped question UIN 54787 question first answered 30/11/2016 14:48:39 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat

It is critical in enabling people with care and support needs to retain their independence and dignity.
