Social Services: Expenditure
(asked on 8th March 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the additional cost to public expenditure of setting the proposed cap on care costs at £35,000, rather than the proposed level of £86,000.
This question was answered on 21st March 2022
Lowering the cap from £86,000 to £35,000, while all other parameters remain unchanged, would double the estimated additional state spend for reform on older adults in 2027/28, when modelled in 2021/22 prices.
