	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>Whilst 79% of inspected care services are good or outstanding there is more to do to address variation. This is why we introduced tougher inspections of care services and provided an additional £2 billion to the sector. The Department is also working with organisations from across the adult social care sector to implement Quality Matters – a commitment to improving quality.</p><p> </p><p>The Government announced that we will be consulting on the future of social care. The consultation will set out options to improve the social care system to put it on a more secure financial footing and address issues related to the quality of care and variation in practice.</p><p> </p><p>The Care Quality Commission (CQC) makes sure adult social care providers meet fundamental standards of quality and safety. The CQC reports that 75% of inspected providers are rated as good for ‘safety’.</p><p>The CQC can take action if it identifies aspects of care which need to improve. The CQC can: issue requirement notices or warning notices to set out what improvements must be made and by when; make changes to a care provider's registration to limit what they may do; place a provider in special measures; and, issue cautions, fines or prosecute cases where people are harmed or placed in danger of harm.</p><p> </p><p>The CQC reports that 76% of inspected providers are rated as outstanding or good for ‘well-led’. The Department is working closely with our delivery partners, Skills for Care, to improve the level of skills of the adult social care workforce which includes supporting the development of leadership at all levels. The Skills for Care Leadership programme equips leaders and managers at all levels to positively embrace service transformation as part of an integrated, whole-system view of person-centred care.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price grouped question UIN 5058 5059 5060 question first answered 19/07/2017 16:01:50 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

The independent regulator was set up to give a single authoritative account to the Department on issues such as this.</p><p> </p><p>The report shows that 70 per cent of adult social care services are rated good or better and that improvement is taking place all over the country.</p><p> </p><p>Social care is critical in enabling older people to retain their independence and dignity. This is why, against the context of tough public sector finances, the Government has taken steps to protect social care services. The Government is giving local authorities access to up to £3.5 billion of new support for social care by 2019/20. This will increase social care spending in real terms by the end of the Parliament.</p><p> </p><p>Through the Care Act, we have a reformed care system that means local authorities are in a better position to meet the care needs of people who need them most. Councils now have greater flexibility to arrange care, as well as give greater choice and control to individuals.</p><p> </p><p>The Department will continue to work with providers and their trade bodies, who have come together as a taskforce to understand financial challenges in the sector. The Department is also working to support local authorities meet their Care Act duties to improve commissioning and encourage an effective care market.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 25/10/2016 16:29:15 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton attachment 1 file name 20161013b_stateofcare1516_web.pdf title CQC State of Care Report

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2016 answer text <p>We recognise that demand for social care is growing and this was a consideration in last year's Spending Review.</p><p>The Spending Review settlement provides up to £3.5 billion of new support for adult social care by 2019/20 - greater than the £2.9 billion that the Local Government Association estimated was needed for adult social care in their Spending Review submission. The vast majority of councils have already taken advantage of the opportunity to introduce a new Social Care Precept, which allows them to increase council tax by 2% above the existing threshold. By the end of the Parliament, this will raise up to £2 billion that must be spent exclusively on adult social care. In addition, by 2019/20 an extra £1.5 billion per year will be available for inclusion in the Better Care Fund.</p><p>Taken together, the Social Care Precept and the Better Care Fund will mean local government has access to the funding needed to increase social care spending in real terms by the end of the Parliament.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 19/07/2016 14:52:42 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
