answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2024 answer text <p>On 17 September, I wrote to all local authorities, setting out priorities for improving service resilience across social care this winter. The letter emphasises the importance of close partnership working and joint planning between local authorities, the NHS and community partners. Local authorities are expected to have business continuity plans in place for a range of risks, including for localised disruptions caused by adverse winter weather.</p><p>The Department funds Partners in Care and Health, delivered by the Local Government Association, the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services, and the Social Care Institute for Excellence, to provide a support offer that helps local authorities tackle operational challenges, including during winter.</p><p>Under the Market Sustainability and Improvement Fund (MSIF), local authorities must submit an adult social care capacity plan that provides assurance that plans are in place to meet estimated local demand for different types of long-term care services, with a focus on winter. These were submitted to the department in June 2024. The member’s local authority, Shropshire, submitted their 2024/25 capacity plan which is currently undergoing processing and quality assurance.</p><p>MSIF is designed to support increased adult social care capacity, improve market sustainability, and enable local authorities to make improvements to adult social care services. Shropshire has been allocated just over £6 million of MSIF funding in 2024/25 to support these aims.</p> answering member constituency Aberafan Maesteg answering member printed Stephen Kinnock question first answered 28/10/2024 15:21:40 answering member 4359 label Biography information for Stephen Kinnock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2024 answer text <p>The Department commissions the Care Policy and Evaluation Centre (CPEC) at the London School of Economics to produce projections of the long-term demand and cost of adult social care services in England. These include projections of the number of working aged adults, namely those aged between 18 and 64 years old, in receipt of local authority-funded care services. The most recently published CPEC projections show that the number of working age adults in receipt of social care services is projected to increase by 29% between 2018 and 2038. As with any projection of the future, CPEC estimates are based on a specific set of data and assumptions and should therefore be treated with caution. The projections are available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.lse.ac.uk/cpec/assets/documents/cpec-working-paper-7.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.lse.ac.uk/cpec/assets/documents/cpec-working-paper-7.pdf</a></p><p>The Department is committed to building consensus on the long-term reform needed to create a National Care Service that addresses challenges working age disabled adults currently face and that is shaped for those who will have support needs in the future, including children who currently have health and care plans. The Government will set out next steps for a process that engages with adult social care stakeholders in due course.</p> answering member constituency Aberafan Maesteg answering member printed Stephen Kinnock question first answered 24/10/2024 13:35:14 answering member 4359 label Biography information for Stephen Kinnock previous answer version 10814 answering member constituency Aberafan Maesteg answering member printed Stephen Kinnock answering member 4359 label Biography information for Stephen Kinnock
