2 Adult Social Care Additional Funding PDF 313 KB
Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, People,
regarding the allocation of additional funding for Adult Social Care.
The Board was advised that additional funding for Councils in England
over the next three years had been announced by the Chancellor in the Spring 2017 budget. It was reported that this would help to
close the gap in Government funding for Adult Social Care. It would meet the
needs of adult social care and reduce the pressures on the NHS.
It was noted that a small number of grant conditions had been applied to
ensure that the money was spent on adult social care services and supported the
improvement in performance at the health and social care interface. Members
were advised that the grant would be pooled into the Better Care Fund pooled
budget once agreement had been reached with the Health and Wellbeing Board.
RESOLVED: That Executive Board agree to the recommendations as
detailed in Section 4.0 of the report.
