answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2024 answer text <p>Local authorities are responsible for assessing individuals’ care and support needs and, where eligible, for meeting those needs. Where individuals do not meet the eligibility threshold, they can get support from their local authorities in making their own arrangements for care services, as set out in the Care Act 2014.</p><p>We recognise that some people still experience challenges in accessing the care and support they need, when they need it. That is why ensuring that people find adult social care fair and accessible is one of the three main objectives of our 10-year reform vision for adult social care. To achieve this vision, we are supporting local authorities to address workforce pressures, drive improvements in their local area, and better streamline their assessment processes.</p><p>To support this, the Government has made available up to £8.6 billion in additional funding over the financial years 2023/24 and 2024/25, to support adult social care and discharge. This includes up to £1.5 billion of additional grant funding for adult social care for 2024/25, compared to 2023/24, alongside a 2% increase to the adult social care precept for local authorities with social care responsibilities, uptake of which will generate a further £609 million in 2024/25. In addition, the Market Sustainability and Improvement Fund, worth almost £2 billion over two years, is designed to support increased adult social care capacity, improve market sustainability, and enable local authorities to make improvements to adult social care services.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 17/05/2024 08:18:03 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2024 answer text <p>The National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) collects data on children aged four to five years old, who would be in reception, and 10 to 11 years old, who would be in year 6. It provides detailed trend data on children’s weight status, including childhood obesity. While data is not available at a constituency level, it is available at a local authority, regional, and national level. The following table shows the obesity prevalence from the NCMP in Coventry, the West Midlands, and England, for 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22 and 2022/23:</p><table><tbody><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>Area</p></td><td colspan="4"><p>Children aged four to five years old</p></td><td colspan="4"><p>Children aged 10 to 11 years old</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019/20</p></td><td><p>2020/21</p></td><td><p>2021/22</p></td><td><p>2022/23</p></td><td><p>2019/20</p></td><td><p>2020/21</p></td><td><p>2021/22</p></td><td><p>2022/23</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Coventry</p></td><td><p>11.7%</p></td><td><p>15.2%</p></td><td><p>10.4%</p></td><td><p>9.8%</p></td><td><p>25.3%</p></td><td><p>30.2%</p></td><td><p>26.7%</p></td><td><p>25.6%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>West Midlands</p></td><td><p>11.2%</p></td><td><p>16%</p></td><td><p>11.3%</p></td><td><p>10.1%</p></td><td><p>23.9%</p></td><td><p>28.4%</p></td><td><p>26.2%</p></td><td><p>25.2%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>England</p></td><td><p>9.9%</p></td><td><p>14.4%</p></td><td><p>10.1%</p></td><td><p>9.2%</p></td><td><p>21%</p></td><td><p>25.5%</p></td><td><p>23.4%</p></td><td><p>22.7%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Note: the data for 2019/20 was collected before the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p>The data shows that the prevalence of obesity in children aged four to five years old has decreased since the increase seen in 2020/21, during the COVID-19 pandemic. For children aged 10 to 11 years old, prevalence has decreased, but it still remains higher in 2022/23 compared to pre-pandemic levels in 2019/20, for the West Midlands and England.
