answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2019 answer text <p>The future funding for social care will be considered alongside other local government services at the Spending Review.</p><p>The Government is undertaking a review of the relative needs and resources of local authorities in England, with a view to setting fresh baseline funding levels. The recent consultation on this proposed a specific formula for adult social care that includes cost drivers for both older people and working age adults.</p><p>All councils have statutory duties to look after the vulnerable, elderly and disabled people in their area. By passing the Care Act 2014, this Government established a national threshold that defines the care needs that local authorities must meet. This eliminates the postcode lottery of eligibility across England.</p><p> </p><p>We need a sustainable social care system to ensure services continue to deliver for our ageing population and the increasing number of people of working age who require care services, which is why the Government has committed to publishing a Green Paper at the earliest opportunity which will set out our proposals for reform.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage grouped question UIN 251377 question first answered 15/05/2019 15:51:33 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2019 answer text <p>Funding for children’s services is made available through the Local Government Finance Settlement (LGFS), which gives local authorities flexibility to target spending according to local needs and to fulfil their statutory responsibilities, including services for children and families. Since 2010, the responsibilities of local authorities and the makeup of their funding streams have changed significantly. Therefore, wider spending power measures are not directly comparable over this period.</p><p>Over the 5 year period to 2019-20, councils have access, through the LGFS, to over £200 billion to deliver local services, including children’s services. Core spending power has increased from £45.1 billion in 2018-19 to £46.4 billion in 2019-20.</p><p>In addition to this the Autumn Budget announced a further £410 million in 2019-20 for local authorities to invest in adult and children’s social care services. It also announced £84 million of extra funding, over the next 5 years, to support local authorities to invest in initiatives that improve social work practice and decision making.</p><p>Local Authority level data since 2013 is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-authority-interactive-tool-lait" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-authority-interactive-tool-lait</a>.</p><p>National level children in need and service use since 2010 is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-children-in-need" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-children-in-need</a> and: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-looked-after-children" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-looked-after-children</a>.</p><p>The most common factors recorded in children’s social care assessments are domestic abuse and mental health.
