<p>Social care is funded through a combination of central government grants, council
tax and business rates which in the past have remained stable sources of income through
economic downturns.</p><p>The Government conducts an ongoing assessment of the sustainability
of the local government system. This is a dynamic assessment which reflects emerging
analysis of pressures and risks and is kept under review.</p><p>The Government is
dedicated to supporting the adult social care system and as such has given councils
access to up to £3.6 billion more dedicated funding for adult social care in 2018-19
and up to £3.9 billion for 2019-20. The additional resources will help councils commission
care services that are sustainable, diverse and offer sufficient high-quality care
and support for people in their areas.</p>
