Dan Jarvis – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Dan Jarvis on 2016-03-03.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of variations in revenue generated by the social care precept on levels of variation in the standard of social care across the UK.

Mr Marcus Jones

The Government has made it clear that the variation in estimated revenue generated by the adult social care precept, which is one source of funding for adult social care will be taken into account when publishing the proposed allocations for the additional Better Care Fund funding (£1.5 billion by 2019-20).

The proposed allocations will be subject to a public consultation later this year.
