answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2022 answer text <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> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick grouped question UIN 55094 question first answered 12/10/2022 08:59:35 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

Measures involved the introduction of price caps limiting the amount a Trust can pay to an agency for temporary staff. Since then, total spend on agency staffing has fallen by c.£1.2bn per year, from a peak of £3.6bn in 2015/16 to £2.4bn at the end of 20/21.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 19/10/2022 13:30:20 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick previous answer version 20316 answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
