The Government monitors outcomes from social care closely. The quality of care continues to increase, with 81% of care homes and 86.5% of domiciliary care agencies rated good or outstanding by the CQC as of December 2018. And, over the last three years the Government has given councils access to up to around £10bn dedicated additional funding for adult social care.
