answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2018 answer text <p>My Department supports Public Finance Initiatives (PFI) Housing and Joint Service Centre projects contracted directly by local authorities. The majority of PFI projects date back to 1999-2010 and no PFIs have been set up since 2014. They were subject to extensive value for money assessments before authorities entered into them and, in 2011, the Department ran a savings exercise on projects still within their procurement stage which identified over £531 million of savings over the lifetime of remaining projects.</p><p>All PFI projects are now operational and authorities are expected to continue to seek to improve the value for money of their projects wherever possible. The Department offers advice and support directly to individual local authorities and holds network events to share best practice between local authorities on making savings on its supported Housing and Joint Service Centre PFI projects.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 05/02/2018 14:14:58 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

Many government grants are not ring-fenced, leaving local authorities to determine how much is spent on different services. <br> <br> However, the Government has provided specific funding to councils for adult social care in recent years, most noticeably through the improved Better Care Fund which was supplemented by the additional £2 billion announced at Spring Budget 2017.
