Where necessary, local councils should use this funding to ensure that adult social care pressures do not create additional demand on the NHS.

Each sale is subject to market conditions and a value for money test, which takes into account foregone repayments and assesses whether the government is better off holding or selling the assets when taking account of the time value of money, the effect of inflation, the riskiness of the asset and the opportunity cost of having money tied up in that asset. The government does not publish a year-by-year estimate of the sales programme, as the timing and size of sales remain flexible in order to maximise value for money.

The Manual applies EU adopted international financial reporting standards (IFRS) as adapted or interpreted for the public sector.
