Personal Budgets
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people in receipt of personal budgets receive the support as a combination of direct payments, payments to organisations or funding managed by the local authority.
- Answer
-
The care and support statutory guidance sets out that every adult whose social care and support needs are met by their local authority must receive a personal budget as part of their care and support plan, or support plan.
NHS Digital’s Short and Long Term (SALT) Data Returns and Adult Social Care Finance Returns (ASC-FR) contain data on personal budgets and direct payments, but not the specific data points required to directly answer these questions.
