answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2024 answer text <p>The Department does not hold data on the proportion of central Government funding spent on supporting people of working age, those aged 18 to 64 years old, with their care needs. NHS England does publish data on net local authority expenditure on adult social care. Of the expenditure on long and short-term care that is disaggregated by age-band, £8.7 billion, or 54%, was spent on working age adults in 2022/23. It is likely that a proportion of the spend in this data that is not specifically age attributed, is also used to support people of working age.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 24/05/2024 08:30:32 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2024 answer text <p>A total of 611,590 adults aged between 18 and 64 years old made requests for social care support in 2022/23. Of these, 216,135, or 35.3%, did not receive support from their local authority. Local authorities are responsible for assessing individuals’ care and support needs and, where eligible, for meeting those needs. Where a person is assessed as having eligible care and support needs, the local authority should then carry out a financial assessment to determine what they can afford to contribute towards the cost of meeting their care need. Where individuals do not meet the eligibility threshold, they can get support from their local authorities in making their own arrangements for care services, as set out in the Care Act 2014.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 24/05/2024 08:35:33 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
