<p>On 22 September 2022, the Government announced an additional £500 million for adult
social care this winter to accelerate the safe discharge of patients from hospital
and recruit and retain more care workers to support people who no longer need to be
in hospital. The funding will be sourced from underspent budgets, efficiencies and
savings opportunities arising in the course of normal financial management from Departmental
and National Health Service budgets. Approximately half of the available fund will
be derived from resources allocated to NHS employers for the health and care levy,
which has become available as the levy will not be in place.</p>
