The Government has given councils access to up to £3.9 billion for 2019-20. This includes a £240 million adult social care winter fund to help local authorities alleviate winter pressures on the National Health Service, getting patients home quicker and freeing up hospital beds across England.<\/p>
As a result of these measures, funding available for adult social care is increasing by 9% in real terms from 2015-16 to 2019-20. This funding will allow councils to support more people and sustain a diverse care market while social care funding for future years will be settled in the Spending Review, where the overall approach to funding local government will be considered in the round.<\/p>"}

The Government hugely values the contribution of the 104,000 European Union staff who work in the social care sector. The Prime Minister has made it clear that we not only want them to stay, but feel welcomed and encouraged to do so. The EU Settlement Scheme has now fully opened, is free and will allow EU nationals employed in the social care sector to secure their long-term status in the United Kingdom.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government is working alongside stakeholders in the adult social care sector to ensure there is the right number of people, with the right skills, knowledge and values to meet increasing demand, and deliver high quality, person-centred care and support. We know we need to redouble our efforts to promote jobs and careers in social care to the domestic workforce which is why my Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State, has made improving the working lives of the millions of people who work in health and social care one of his top priorities, and why on 12 February we launched a national recruitment campaign for social care.<\/p>
<\/p>
The campaign, \u2018Every Day is Different\u2019 showcases how rewarding and varied social care careers can be, with opportunities for progression and professional development. The campaign ran from February to early April and its objective was to raise the image and profile of the sector and encourage people with the right values to apply for current vacancies.<\/p>
<\/p>
The upcoming Social Care Green Paper will set out the Department\u2019s proposals for reform of the sector to put it on a more sustainable future footing. This will include a vision for workforce and proposals to boost recruitment and retention in the longer term.<\/p>"}

The Home Office is undertaking a programme of engagement with colleagues across Government and industry to discuss the proposed measures in the Immigration White Paper, including at what level any minimum salary threshold should be set. Officials from the Department of Health and Social Care and the Home Office are working closely together to engage with the health and care sector to ensure views on the design of the future immigration system are heard.<\/p>
However, we also recognise the need to boost our domestic workforce as well. The NHS Long Term Plan sets out a vital strategic framework to ensure that, over the next 10 years, the National Health Service will have the staff it needs so that nurses and doctors are working in a supportive culture that allows them to provide the expert compassionate care they are committed to providing. Baroness Dido Harding, Chair of NHS Improvement, working closely with Sir David Behan, Chair of Health Education England, will lead a number of programmes to develop a detailed workforce implementation plan. Baroness Harding and Sir David will present these initial recommendations to the Department this spring.<\/p>"}

Government policy and the law in the form of the Care Act 2014 should ensure that the provision of social care is based on the needs of the individual.<\/p>
The Care Act 2014 puts people\u2019s wellbeing at the heart of care and support. In practice, the guidance requires that local authorities should ensure that where they arrange services, the assessed needs of a person with eligible care and support needs is translated into effective, appropriate, commissioned services that are adequately resourced.<\/p>
People who are eligible for social care from their local authority can receive a personal budget to pay for the care and support services they choose for their needs; providing them with a personalised package that addresses their bespoke needs.<\/p>"}
