Income from the NHS Better Care Fund as a per cent of revised gross current expenditure on adult social care (excluding capital charges and including spending funded by income from the NHS and other sources) (11537) Metric type
- Help text
- This is income from the NHS Better Care Fund (BCF) as a proportion of the revised gross current expenditure on adult social care. The revised gross current expenditure measure was devised because the measure for gross current expenditure on adult social care excludes spending funded by income from the NHS, joint arrangements and other income. The revised measure subtracts capital expenditure from total expenditure including capital, to produce a figure which excludes capital spending but includes spending funded by income from all income sources.
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. The gross current expenditure figures published for Adult Social Care excludes spending funded from the Better Care Fund. This is material. Some BCF funding will be spent by the NHS directly but most of it will have been paid to local authorities. In addition, local authorities have received other funding from the NHS which will have been used to pay for adult social care. This is not included in the gross current expenditure figures either. Excluding this spending will impact on understanding the spending on older people in particular.
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.
