Summary
This report contains provisional information on the money spent on adult social care by Councils with Adult Social Services Responsibilities (CASSR) during 2010-11. One council did not submit data in time for inclusion in this report, but their expenditure data has been estimated to produce national level figures. However no activity data has been estimated so no national level activity or unit cost data is shown in this provisional report. Final data for 2010-11 is expected to be published in March 2012 and will include estimates for any missing expenditure or activity data so that unit cost data can be made available at national level. Gross current expenditure has been quoted within this summary unless otherwise stated.
Highlights
Main Overall Findings
- Councils have reported an increase in Adult Social Service spend from £16.8 billion in 2009-10 to £17.0 billion in 2010-11, this is approximately a 1 per cent rise in cash terms but a decrease of 2 per cent in real terms.
- Over a longer term, this represents a real term increase of 4 per cent since 2005-06 and 36 per cent over the 10 years from 2000-01.
Type of Service User
- Expenditure on Older People (aged 65 and over) continues to make up the majority of the total adult expenditure although the percentage has decreased from 58 per cent in 2005-06 to 55 per cent in 2010-11. This has decreased by one percentage point from 2009-10.
- The actual expenditure on older people has remained constant at £9.4m since 2009-10 but this represents a fall of 3 per cent in real terms.
- Expenditure on adults aged 18-64 with a Learning Disability has increased from £4.0 billion in 2009-10 to £4.2 billion in 2010-11 (up 5 per cent in cash terms and 2 per cent in real terms).
