answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2016 answer text <p>It is the decision of local councils whether to raise the adult social care precept in order to pay for adult social care in their local area. The precept gives local areas who are best placed to respond to local needs and pressures the flexibility to be able to do so. There will be a statistical release showing the number of councils taking up the precept on 30 March 2016.</p><p>Additionally, from April 2017 the Spending Review makes available social care funds for local government, rising to £1.5 billion by 2019-20, to be included in the Better Care Fund (BCF). We have deliberately distributed the improved BCF in such a way that those councils with low council tax bases will benefit most.</p><p>Taken together, the new precept and additional BCF contribution mean local government has access to the funding it needs to increase social care spending in real terms by the end of the Parliament.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 17/03/2016 15:17:59 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2016 answer text <p>The Department estimates that if all local authorities who deliver social care were to choose to use a two per cent precept this would total £393 million in 2016-17.
