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
