In addition to this, if local authorities were to use the full flexibility that we have assumed for the purposes of the Spending Review settlement, they are expected to have access to up to £1.7bn of additional funding over the Spending Review period for adult social care through the ability to increase the adult social care precept by up to 1% each year.</p><p> </p><p>In September the Prime Minister announced the package of reforms to adult social care – funded through the Health and Social Care Levy – which committed the Government to investing an additional £5.4bn in adult social care over the next three years. The Spending Review confirmed that £3.6bn of the £5.4bn will be available for local government to implement comprehensive funding reform of the adult social care system. This funding will also enable local authorities to better sustain their local care markets by moving towards a fairer cost of care.</p> answering member constituency Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland answering member printed Mr Simon Clarke question first answered 01/11/2021 15:50:01 answering member 4655 label Biography information for Sir Simon Clarke

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2021 answer text <p>Only a broad-based tax base like Income Tax, VAT or National Insurance contributions (NICs) could raise the sums needed for such a significant investment. A levy charged on the NICs base is the fairest way to raise the funds needed to support health and social care.</p><p> </p><p>The highest earning 15 per cent will pay over half the revenues, and 6.1 million people earning less than £9,880 per annum will be kept out of paying the Levy altogether.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, using NICs as the base ensures businesses will also pay the Levy. Businesses benefit from having a healthy workforce, so it is only fair that they contribute.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 22/11/2021 16:24:18 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>The Autumn Budget 2018 announced an additional £650 million in 2019-20 for social care. Within this, local councils will receive £240 million for adult social care. This will make sure people can leave hospital when they are ready, into a care setting that best meets their needs. This will help the NHS to free up the beds it needs over winter. This repeats the £240 million for local councils for adult social care to alleviate winter pressures in 2018-19.</p><p>The Budget announced a further £410 million in 2019-20 for adults and children’s social care. Where necessary, local councils should use this funding to ensure that adult social care pressures do not create additional demand on the NHS. Local councils can also use it to improve their social care offer for older people, people with disabilities and children.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 03/12/2018 13:34:13 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
