uin	7234
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2024 answer text <p>The total value of the precept each year includes all the annual increases set by councils since 2016/17, and the Government does not publish this total. We cannot therefore calculate the proportion of adult social care spend each year funded from the precept. However, the Government publishes the amount raised by the increase in the adult social care precept each year. In 2023/24, councils could increase the precept by up to 2%, raising an estimated maximum of £561 million.</p><p> </p><p>The evidence review for Adult Social Care Reform, published in December 2021, estimated that up to 70% of total adult social care spend is from public sources.</p><p> </p><p>The impact of the social care precept varies across the country, depending upon the decisions that local authorities make about how much precept to levy and how much it needs to spend on adult social care.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 12/01/2024 14:50:16 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
