Stoate seeks information on local authority expenditure on home care services Dr. Stoate: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what the annual expenditure on home care services was per care recipient of each local authority in England with social services responsibilities in 2006-07; (2) what average annual charge was paid to each local authority in England with social services responsibilities by home care services users that contribute towards the cost of their care in 2006-07. Mr. Ivan Lewis: Information for the financial year 2006-07 is being collected and is due to be published in February 2008. Information is collected only on the total number of people receiving services. Data on the number of those who are contributing to the funding of their care is not collected separately and so the average annual charge requested cannot be calculated. |
