Ms Coffey

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what were the costs to local authorities of(a) care assessment and (b) care management for services for elderly people for each year since 1989–90 for which information is available. [17824]

Mr. Burns

For 1994–95, the latest year for which information is available, the figures of total local authority expenditure on care assessment/care management for elderly people may be found in table 6 of the statistical bulletin "Personal Social Services current and capital expenditure in England: 1994–95", copies of which are available in the Library. Separate data on care assessment and care management, and expenditure data for these services for elderly people in earlier years are not available.
