Adult Social Care Spending England
Dear Crawley Borough Council,
For the past seven financial years:
1. How much has the council spent on Adult Social Care (“ASC”) as a whole?
2. How much of the total ASC budget has been paid out as direct payments? What is the total number of hours that are being commissioned?
3. How much does the council spend on care providers directly commissioned by the local authority? Of this, how much is for domiciliary care support? What is the total number of hours that are being commissioned both in total and just for domiciliary care/support?
4. How much does the council spend on the administration of adult social care? Please include staffing costs e.g. management, support services, finance, secretaries, social workers or similar. It would be helpful if you could break this down by seniority and then include the number of employees in each category (i.e. social workers = X number of employees, costs X per annum).
5. Please indicate the total number of employees employed by ASC.
6. How many of your local authority’s customers are in receipt of a direct payment for Care Act services?
7. How many of your local authority’s customers are in receipt of support directly commissioned by the local authority? We are only referring to domiciliary care support.
8. As part of your duties under the Care Act, do you signpost Direct Payment users to support services such as payroll providers? |f so, which providers are signposted to?
9. Can you provide the names of the payroll providers used by your direct payment recipients, and how many direct payment recipient use each provider?
10. Does the council pay any payroll providers directly and if so, how much?
11. Please indicate the number of direct payment recipients that use a) supported bank account, b) pre-paid and c) traditional payment into client’s bank account (ie. separate account client uses only for their direct payment)?
Please ensure figures are given in a consistent format (i.e. stick to the financial year), I would like to receive the quantitative data requested (costs, number of hours, number of people etc) In accordance with ICO guidance on data sets, in a re-usable Excel format.
Yours faithfully,
Daniel
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your request for information.
Crawley Borough Council is not responsible for social care and does not
hold the information requested. We suggest you contact West Sussex County
Council at
[1]https://www.westsussex.gov.uk/about-the-...
I would like to make you aware, under Section 8(1)(b) of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000, a request is considered invalid if the applicant has
not used their full name. It should be noted that any variation of a title
or first name combined with a surname (e.g. Mr Smith or John Smith, or Ms
Elizabeth Spencer, E Spencer, or Liz Spencer) will be sufficient to meet
this requirement. However, a first name or surname provided in isolation,
or a set of initials, will not. I would encourage you to include your full
name (in one of the above permitted formats) in your initial
correspondence to West Sussex County Council to ensure they accept your
request.
Kind regards,
