adult social care

Linda Burnip made this Freedom of Information request to Birmingham City Council

Birmingham City Council did not have the information requested.

From: Linda Burnip

5 April 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,
Using data from 2007-8 you have stated that 15% of the total adult
care budget is spent on community/home care, and 34% on residential
care. Please could you tell me what the remaining 51% of the adult
social care budget is spent on?

What are the amounts available for providing adult social care for
2009-2010? How much of this is expected to be spent on providing
personalised budgets and Direct payments?
What percentage of total spend is this?

The recent Overview and Scrutiny report (Nov. 2008) stated that
4,000 fewer people received any care from BCC in 2007 compared to
2000 how do BCC plan to address this issue?

The average waiting time for adaptations is currently 58 weeks:
what is the longest waiting time and do BCC have any plans to
reduce this waiting time to a more acceptable time scale?

Yours faithfully,
Linda Burnip

Dear Linda Burnip
In your request you have referred to a Scrutiny report of November 2008 and
a figure of 4000 fewer people receiving care.

The scrutiny office has checked the reports for that month and cannot find
any reference to that figure or to a comparison of 2007 vs 2000 data.

If you could please let me know which report you are quoting and the
particular section, I will see what recorded information there is to answer
your question. However, without that clarification, it will not be possible
to trace the information you have requested.

We are proceeding with the remainder of your request and are aware of the
response timescale.

Yours sincerely
