Citation
This determination may be cited as the 2022 to 2023 Grant to Streamline Local Authority Adult Social Care Assessments (no. 31/6585).
Purpose of the grant
The purpose of this grant is to provide support to local authorities in England towards expenditure lawfully incurred or to be incurred by them in funding adult social care.
This is made available to support local authorities with the cost of funding a dedicated productivity lead to review local systems and implement some or all the following approaches:
- procure and implement digital efficiency tools already available on the market - for example, self-service tools or online portals that allow people who draw on care or carers to input or view their own information
- embed transformation or business process experts to improve operating models - for example, make use of virtual assessments where appropriate and consider implementing trusted assessment arrangements with care providers, intermediate care teams and other professionals, to reduce the number of times the same information is collected from the same person
- supplement social worker vacancies with higher ratios of assistant or trainee roles which can be easier to recruit to - for example, if there is a shortage of registered social workers
This is not an exhaustive list and local authorities are encouraged to tailor approaches to local priorities, where there are innovative ways to help simplify systems and increase assessment capacity.
Determination
The Minister of State determines:
- the authorities to which grant is to be paid
- the amount of grant to be paid
The authorities and the amounts are set out in Annex A.
Grant conditions
This is a non-ringfenced grant contribution to be paid to local authorities towards implementing innovative projects developed in response to planned reforms. There are no conditions on the grant.
However, local authorities are strongly recommended to share learning and best practice with other local authorities and the Department for Health and Social Care.
Treasury consent
Before making this determination in relation to local authorities in England, the Minister of State obtained the consent of the Treasury.
