Conor McGinn – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Conor McGinn on 2016-09-05.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how much funding per head his Department has given to support children and young adults in social care in (a) St Helens North, (b) Merseyside and (c) the UK in each year since 2010.

Mr Marcus Jones

We do not provide funding specifically for children and adults in social care. Local authorities were provided with formula grant in the period 2010-11 to 2012-13, and Revenue Support Grant from 2013-14 onwards, both of which are unringfenced and it is a matter for local discretion how this is spent.
