	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2022 answer text <p>The Government recognises the funding challenges facing local authorities. The Local Government Finance Settlement for 2022-23 makes available an additional £3.7 billion to councils, including funding for adult social care reforms. This is an increase in local authority funding for 2022-23 of over 4.5% in real terms and will ensure councils across the country have the resources they need to deliver key services, including adult social care. In total, we expect Core Spending Power to rise from £50.4 billion in 2021-22 to up to £54.1 billion in 2022-23 and local authorities can make use of over £1 billion of additional resource specifically for social care in 2022-23 through this Settlement.</p><p>The Government has provided an additional £462.5 million to boost recruitment and support existing care work through the winter and we have committed at least £500 million over the next three years to develop and support the workforce. In addition, an increase in the rate of the National Living Wage will mean many of the lowest paid care workers will benefit from a 6.6% pay rise effective from 1 April.</p><p>The latest phase of the Government’s National Adult Social Care Recruitment Campaign launched on 3 November across broadcast and social media, promoting the rewarding and stimulating roles in adult social care. The campaign will run until 31 March 2022.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 09/03/2022 17:47:10 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

Whilst commissioning social care is a matter for local authorities who are best placed to understand the needs of local people and communities, and how best to meet them, people must be genuinely involved and influential throughout the care planning process. They should be given every opportunity to take joint ownership of the development of their care plan with the local authority, if they wish.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 09/09/2019 16:06:38 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
