Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered at on 20 January 2020.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the level of revenue local authorities will raise through the social care precept in 2020-21.
The provisional Local Government Finance Settlement, published on 20 December 2019, proposed that local authorities will be able to increase council tax by an additional 2% exclusively for adult social care without holding a local referendum. This will allow councils to raise a further £500 million for adult social care in 2020-21.
