	uin	HL3989
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/12/2016 answer text <p>Adult social care provides a vital service to millions of people across the country. It is for local authorities to choose how much to spend on social care to meet their duties. We recognise there are pressures on these services, and the Spending Review 2015 as a whole paid particular attention to adult social care services. As a result the 2015 Spending Review provided a package of almost £3.5 billion of support for adult social care by 2019-20.</p><p /> <p>Following representations from local authorities and care providers that funding is needed sooner, the Provisional Local Government settlement included further measures to tackle these pressures, increasing the potential total funding available for social care during this Parliament.</p><p /> <p>The Government announced on 15 December that savings from reforms to the New Homes Bonus will be retained in full by local government to contribute towards adult social care, through a new dedicated £240 million Adult Social Care Support Grant in 2017 to 2018, distributed according to relative need. In recognition of the immediate challenges faced in the care market, Councils will be also be granted flexibility to raise the social care precept on council tax by up to 3 per cent next year and the year after, but by no more than 6 per cent over the three years. This could provide a further £208 million to spend on adult social care in 2017 to 2018 and £444 million in 2018 to 2019.</p><p /><p><br></p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 23/12/2016 14:48:39 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2016 answer text <p>Ahead of the Spending Review, the Local Government Association estimated the gap in adult social care funding to be £2.9 billion - arising from a growing elderly population and introduction of the National Living Wage.</p><p>At Spending Review the Government outlined a package of support worth up to £3.5 billion to ensure councils are able to support some of their older and most vulnerable residents. That included giving authorities with social care responsibilities the flexibility to raise council tax in their area by up to 2% above the referendum threshold for each year between 2016-17 and 2019-20, to fund adult social care services. It is also providing £1500 million additional funding for local authorities to spend on adult social care by 2019-20, to be included in an improved Better Care Fund. Taken together, these measures provide significant resources to address the demographic pressures facing the social care system.</p><p>In terms of what the social care flexibility could raise, I refer the hon.
