Income from the NHS excluding income from the Better Care Fund (11498) Metric type
- Help text
- This is a modified measure of the 'income from the NHS' as published in the Adult Social Care Activity and Finance Report. It shows income from the NHS less that provided to councils through the Better Care Fund. It is calculated from 'Total income from NHS' less 'Income from Better Care Fund (BCF)'.
The Better Care Fund was announced by the Government in the June 2013 spending round, to ensure a transformation in integrated health and social care. The Better Care Fund (BCF) creates a local single pooled budget to incentivise the NHS and local government to work more closely together around people, placing their wellbeing as the focus of health and care services, and shifting resources into adult social care and community services for the benefit of the people, communities and health and care systems. Some BCF funding will be spent by the NHS directly but most of it will have been paid to local authorities. Income from the NHS should include all income received from NHS bodies which has been spent on the provision of Adult Social Care, including funds received as part of a joint arrangement with an NHS body.
Any comparison using this data from 2020/21 and 2021/22 must take into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on both activity numbers and spending. The differing scale of cases around the country, when the impacts occurred, and financial support provided will also affect any comparison between authorities. This makes any form of comparative analysis much more complicated and potentially misleading.
