Written Question
Tuesday 16th January 2024
Asked by:
Baroness Cavendish of Little Venice (Crossbench - Life peer)
Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government which (1) benefits, and (2) programmes, provide adult social care to adults of pension age, including (a) caseload by programme, and (b) total expenditure by programme.
Answered by Lord Markham
- Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)
Adult social care is a devolved service and local authorities are responsible for ensuring that people with eligible needs receive support. By the end of 2022/23, 629,050 people were accessing long-term support from councils in England to meet their care needs, 370,110 of whom were people aged 65 years old or over.
Total public spending on adult social care was £22.9 billion in 2022/23. This spend is supported by local government revenue and central government grant, not from the benefits system. Since autumn 2022, the Government has made available up to £8.1 billion in additional funding to support adult social care and discharge over 2023/24 and 2024/25.
Written Question

Asked by:
Baroness Cavendish of Little Venice (Crossbench - Life peer)
Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what proportion of the budget of NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS funded Nursing Care is spent on pensioners.
Answered by Lord Markham
- Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)
NHS England does not collect data on how much NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and National Health Service-funded Nursing Care funding is spent on ‘pensioners’, defined here as someone who is in receipt of a pension. Determination of CHC eligibility is based on a comprehensive assessment of care needs rather than any specific medical condition, disease or diagnosis.
