Answer
Council Tax is a locally raised and set, and it is for local authorities to decide whether they wish to make use of the adult social care ‘precept’. The government has published figures for Core Spending Power each area and each year up to 2019-20, which includes the amount of funding that would be available to them if they chose to take advantage of it.
