Monitoring impact of social care charging

Dear Jon Abrams,

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 (FOIA) - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

The City of London (CoL) acknowledges receipt of your request for information of 28 January 2022.

Public authorities are required to respond to requests within the statutory timescale of 20 working days beginning from the first working day after they receive a request. The Act does not always require public authorities to disclose the information which they hold.

The FOIA applies to the CoL as a local authority, police authority and port health authority. The CoL is the local and police authority for the "Square Mile", ie the historic City of London, and not for London as a whole. Please see the following page containing a link to a map (City of London - Interactive Mapping), which shows the local authority area covered by the CoL:

The CoL does have some functions, including Port Health Authority functions, which extend beyond the City boundary. For further information please see: www.cityoflondon.gov.uk.

Yours sincerely,

Information Officer
Comptroller & City Solicitor's Department

Following receipt of your request for information on 28 January 2022 and
our acknowledgement of the same day, the City of London (CoL) responds as
follows:

Please could I have the following information relating to adult users of
social care in NON-RESIDENTIAL care settings:

1) How many people failed to take up social care services - due to the
care charges - following a financial assessment broken down into the
following financial years 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21? Information not
held.

2) How many people have given up on social care support - due to ongoing
care charges - broken down into the following financial years 2018/19,
2019/20 and 2020/21? Information not held.

3) Do you monitor the on-going health and well-being of people who do not
take up charged local authority social care services following a financial
assessment or those who have given up on social care support due to
ongoing care charges?

The CoL would consider cases individually if we were aware of this.

Please note that the City (the "Square Mile") has a resident population of
about 10,938* which includes approximately 2,040 children aged up to 19
years old.
