Gross Current Expenditure on non age specific adult social care (12339) Metric type
- Help text
- Gross Current Expenditure on adult social care other than areas of expenditure specific to age groups and short and long term care categories. This is the gross current expenditure on adult social care that is not classified as expenditure on those aged 18-64 or expenditure on those aged 65 and over. Gross current expenditure covers the amount of spend by local authorities that is not offset by income from clients and does not include a capital charge. It is the fiscal metric used to denote local government spending. This is calculated as Total expenditure - Income from Joint Arrangements - Income from NHS - Income from Other sources - Total adult social care capital charges
As a result of the Zero Based Review (ZBR), there have been a number of changes to the national data collections for adult social care since the 2013-14 reporting year. The changes that have an impact on the Personal Social Services: Expenditure and Unit Costs publication are the replacement of the old return (PSS-EX1) with the Adult Social Care Finance Return (ASC-FR) collection in 2014-15 and the introduction of the Equalities and Classifications Framework (EQ-CL), which has resulted in changes to some of the data collected as part of this process. Due to changes in the composition of social care funding and expenditure over time, caution should be exercised when considering long-term trends.
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.
