PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Social Services: Reform (13 December 2022)

While charging reforms have been delayed, we have provided councils with a further £3.2 billion, which we are re-investing in social care through the Social Care Grant. This includes a ringfenced fund of £400 million in 2023/24, which will increase to £680 million in 2024/25 and maintain the current levels of Fair Cost of Care funding of £162 million per year. This will assist local authorities to address waiting lists, low fee rates and workforce pressures in the adult social care sector.
