<p>In addition to the social care precept, which gives local authorities access to
up to £2 billion for adult social care by 2019/20; the Government has supported adult
social care, which includes care for those with learning disabilities, by giving local
authorities access to up to £1.5 billion of new support by 2019/20. This is based
on the additional social care monies to be included in the Better Care Fund.</p><p>
</p><p>In the national service model and <em>Building the Right Support</em> published
in October 2015, NHS England, the Local Government Association and the Association
of Directors of Adult Social Services set out how areas would be supported to deliver
lasting change to people with a learning disability and/or autism who display behaviour
that challenges.</p><p> </p><p>This includes service transformation – shifting money
from some services, such as inpatient care, into others, such as community services.</p><p>
</p><p>To support this NHS England is making available up to £30 million of transformation
funding over three years, to be matched by clinical commissioning groups, and £15
million in capital funding. This funding is in addition to the £10 million which was
made available to six fast track areas in 2015/16.</p>
