answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2018 answer text <p>The £2 billion for adult social care announced at Spring Budget 2017 has been allocated almost entirely using the improved Better Care Fund formula, which takes account of ability to raise money through the council tax precept for social care. That means it is very well targeted at areas of greater need and market fragility. However, as we recognise that all councils face social care pressures, 10 per cent of the funding is allocated using the Relative Needs Formula (RNF). All the additional £2 billion supplemented the improved Better Care Fund and is to be used for those purposes.</p><p>As part of the Local Government Finance Settlement in 2017-18, Government also provided £241 million of funding through the Adult Social Care Support Grant, allocated entirely using the RNF. And in February 2018, the Local Government Finance Settlement announced Adult Social Care Support Grant for 2018-19 of £150 million.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 07/06/2018 16:23:07 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
