§ Lord Lipseyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will give a breakdown of how the additional £360 million they are making available to assist people to meet the cost of their residential and nursing home care will be allocated and a similar breakdown of the £900 million they are making available for intermediate care. [HL3893]
§ Lord Hunt of Kings HeathDetails of what is covered by the £360 million and the £900 million are set out in paragraphs 15.18 and 15.14 of the NHS Plan, copies of which are available in the Library. The proposed allocation of funds to enable the NHS and local councils to achieve these and other service improvements announced in the NHS Plan will be set out in the NHS and local government allocation announcements in the autumn. In line with government policy, resources will not be ring-fenced unless this is necessary to secure outcomes required.
