This is the same as the allocation for 2024-25, made up of the 2.1bn improved BCF grant which can be used by councils to meet adult social care needs, help reduce pressures on the NHS and speed up hospitaldischarge and 0.5bn dedicated to supporting hospitaldischarge.
However, the CQC found Camden had no waiting lists for care assessments, hospitaldischarge, care home placements, home care services, reablement, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards assessments and safeguarding cases.
There are also concerns that councils are taking on responsibilities that should fall to the NHS, because of the drive to discharge people from hospital as quickly as possible, which means people are leaving wards with greater needs than previously.
Funding to help care providers fund infection control and Covid testing, and for the NHS to fund free care for up to four weeks for people discharged from hospital with support needs, ended on 31 March, as did winter resources to help providers recruit and retain staff in the face of mounting pressures.
Councils will be able to bid from a pot of £40m – up from £30m – for cash to help prevent hospital admissions and speed up discharges from wards. This can be spent on meeting adult social care needs, supporting the provider market, speeding up hospitaldischarge and otherwise reducing NHS pressures.

It will also disproportionately affect working age adults with disabilities.” They should not be taken for granted.”
.” Family inspiration Much of her career was spent working with adults with learning disabilities, a reflection of the fact that her career in social care was inspired by her own experience caring for her brother, who has profound and multiple learning disabilities.
If this were to be the case, we could make some inroads in maintaining the essential workforce needed so that older and disabled people can continue to access support and live life fully.” . “Care work is highly skilled and all care workers should be paid more than the national living wage.
93% of directors said they backed more government funding for adult social care beyond £500m announced in September to support the workforce and hospitaldischarges , which is yet to be allocated two months on. Williams added: “The £500m discharge fund will not solve this, when it is finally distributed – and it is urgently needed.
Data showed that 86% of people who received a short-term service in the borough did not require ongoing support, while 84% of older people were still at home 91 days after discharge from hospital to a reablement service, exceeding the England average in both cases.
If I take you back nine years, I was without the health and disability challenges I face today. Before that I was in a short-stay MDT setting for assessments and reablement for adults following hospitaldischarge or community referral and other varied roles in the sector.
Labour will develop local partnership working between the NHS and social care on hospitaldischarge. We will explore how we best manage and support an ageing population; how integration with the NHS can be secured; how to best support working age disabled adults; and how to move to a more preventative system.”
