Public Expenditure on Health and Personal Social Services 2009 - Health Committee Contents

4.  COMMISSIONING

4.1.10  What grants were available for Personal Social Services in each year from 2003-04? Could the Department comment on these data? (Q36)

Answer

  1.  Table 36 lists the Department of Health revenue and capital grants for Personal Social Services (PSS) from 2003-04 to 2010-11 (the last year of the latest three-year CSR). For ease of reference, the grants are shown under headings relating to their status in 2008-09.

2.  These Departmental grants contribute towards the total funding for adult social care, albeit a small proportion of the £15 billion gross spend. The majority of PSS funding for local authority commissioned social care comes from the overall Revenue Support Grant (allocated by the Department for Communities and Local Government to local authorities) as well as council tax revenues.
