Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government on changes in the level of funding for adult social care since 2010.

In line with the practice of successive administrations, the details of ministerial discussions are not normally discussed. Adult social care funding will be discussed during the forthcoming 2019 Spending Review.

Councils have access to £9.4 billion more dedicated funding for social care between 17/18 and 19/20 as a result of measures introduced since 2015. The government will also publish a Green Paper on social care by autumn 2018.
