question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they will take, if any, to increase funding for social care.
tabling member printed	Lord Jones
uin	HL8599
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2023 answer text <p>The Government has already provided a historic increase in funding for social care. The Government announced at the Autumn Statement that up to £7.5 billion of additional funding would be available for Adult Social Care and discharge over the next two years. This historic funding boost should put the adult social care system on a stronger financial footing and help local authorities address waiting lists, low fee rates, and workforce pressures in the sector. We will keep working closely with local authorities and the adult social care sector to understand current pressures on service delivery and budgets.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 22/06/2023 16:49:12 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
