Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
What recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of adult social care funding allocated to Oxfordshire County Council.
Our priority is ensuring that councils have the resources to manage the immediate and long-term impacts of the pandemic.
In 2020-21, Oxfordshire County Council received £16.5 million specifically for adult social care, to support its COVID-19 response.
This year, alongside the ability to raise funding through the precept, it will receive £12.6 million through the Social Care Grant and £4.1 million through the Infection Control and Testing Fund.
