HC Deb 16 November 2000 vol 356 cc729-32W
Mr. Sanders

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the element of SSA for each local authority in England was for the placement of children in residential care in the last five years for which figures are available. [135104]

Mr. Hutton

The standard spending assessment for children's personal social services does not include a specific element relating to the placement of children in residential care. The SSA reflects differences between authorities in the potential need for all children's social services, based upon the socio-economic and health characteristics of each authority. It also reflects unavoidable variations in the costs of supplying these services.

The total SSA for children's personal social services in the current financial year is £1,997.7 million. Allocations for each local authority are given in the tables.
