Social care (capital) grant determination for 2015 to 2016

The Department of Health have published details of the £133.6 million social care grant allocations for local authorities in England in 2015 to 2016.

They also explain any conditions on how the money is used:

  • the grant paid to a local authority under this determination is required to be transferred into the local Better Care Fund (BCF) pooled budget, under section 75 of the NHS Act 2006.
  • it must also be spent in accordance with a NHS England approved BCF spending plan jointly agreed between the local authority and the relevant Clinical Commissioning Group(s).
  • in some areas, the grant could therefore support investment in specialised housing that meet local health and social care objectives.
