<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>
