Adult social care is one of the most important priorities for this Government, which is why we will set out a plan to fix the care system and give everyone the dignity and security they deserve.<\/p>
We are providing councils with access to an additional £1.5 billion for adult and children\u2019s social care next year. This includes an additional £1 billion of grant funding for adult and children\u2019s social care, on top of maintaining £2.5 billion of existing social care grants. This will support local authorities to meet rising demand and continue to stabilise the social care system.<\/p>
In addition, the Government will consult on a 2% precept that will enable councils to access a further £500 million for adult social care. This new funding will support councils to meet rising demand and continue to stabilise the social care system.<\/p>
As the Prime Minister said on the steps of Downing Street, the social care crisis will be attended to once and for all. We will set out a plan in due course.<\/p>
