	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2019 answer text <p>Funding for local government services, including children’s services, is set at Spending Review and made available through the Local Government Finance Settlement. This funding is largely unringfenced, enabling local authorities to target spending according to local needs. Local authorities used this flexibility to increase spending on children and young people’s services from £9 billion in 2015-16 to around £9.4 billion in 2017-18. <br> <br> We do not hold data for 2018-19 or for local authorities spend on services for children and young people’s mental health. Nevertheless, the statutory guidance sets out local authorities’ duty to make sure each child they look after has a health assessment of their physical, emotional and mental health needs. The health and care system is responsible for providing this assessment.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 03/07/2019 15:50:01 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
