	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government (1) what are the present costs to the NHS of adult social care, and (2) how much additional funding they estimate is required to ensure the adequate provision of social care, particularly for the elderly.
	tabling member printed	The Marquess of Lothian
	uin	HL2908
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2016 answer text <p>The Government recognises that adult social care and National Health Service costs are closely related, and that savings can be achieved through better integration. For this reason we introduced the Government’s £5.3 billion Better Care Fund. This has provided much needed investment in better integrated care through locally developed plans, and by putting resources where the local NHS and social services think they are needed.</p><p> </p><p>Calculating the exact relationship between health and social care expenditure is complex and the subject of further work.</p><p> </p><p>The Autumn 2015 Spending Review settlement 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 through an annual council tax raise of up to two per cent above the existing threshold. The Government will be making further funding available to councils for adult social care through an improved Better Care Fund, rising to £1.5 billion by 2019-20. Taken together, this means local government has access to funding to increase social care spending in real terms by the end of the Parliament.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 14/11/2016 11:32:25 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton

This was done alongside seven other nations and the EU.</p><p>In October 2016, scientists from UK, Russia, EU and Arctic Council countries met. One of the main issues discussed was the consequence of thawing permafrost in Russia. A key outcome of the discussions will be the development of a roadmap for future research, monitoring and collaboration.</p><p>The Government recognises the importance of understanding change in the Russian Arctic and looks forward to seeing valuable new opportunities arising from the new Agreement on Enhancing Arctic Scientific Cooperation reached by the Arctic States this year. This is expected to be signed and come into operation in 2017. The Government will continue to support UK scientific engagement with the Russian Arctic through the work of the Natural Environment Research Council Arctic Office and others.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 14/11/2016 12:18:56 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
