Better Care Fund: Carers
(asked on 30th January 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of the Better Care Fund will be spent on supporting unpaid family carers.
This question was answered on 7th February 2023
In 2022/23, £291.7 million of the Better Care Fund (BCF) has been earmarked to provide short breaks and respite services for carers, as well as additional advice and support.
We cannot provide the exact proportion of BCF spend on supporting unpaid carers for 2023/24 because the overall size of the BCF (including voluntary contributions) will not be known until the end of the year.
