This includes an additional £2 billion of funding in England, as announced at the Spring Budget 2017. One of the three purposes of this funding was to reduce pressures on the NHS, including supporting more people to be discharged from hospital when they are ready and we know local authorities are putting resources into this. However, performance is not just about money, and considerable variation remains across the country. We will be monitoring the position carefully on delayed transfers of care in the run up to winter.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 19/10/2017 12:42:56 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones

	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

	uin	HL3991
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/12/2016 answer text <p>The social care precept created in the 2015 Spending Review works by giving local authorities the flexibility to raise council tax in their area by up to 2 per cent above the existing threshold. If all local authorities used this to its maximum effect it could help raise nearly £2 billion a year by 2019-20. In 2016-17 144 out 152 (95 per cent) of adult social care authorities took up the precept, raising £382m extra for social care this year. The precept was accompanied by the introduction of the 'improved Better Care Fund' grant for social care from 2017-18, worth £105million in that year and £1.5billion in 2019-20.</p><p /> <p>The Government announced on 15 December that, in recognition of the immediate challenges faced in the care market, Councils will 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.
