DH allocations can benefit Extra Care

Following the Local Authority Circular (2010) issued in December last year, the Department of Health have issued a new Circular which was sent to all councils with adult social care responsibility (CASCR) earlier this month to advise them of the allocation of the non ring fenced capital grants totalling £251m.

The new Circular sets out the allocation to CASCRs for this financial year and the provisional allocations for 2012/13. It enables them to invest in their strategic capital investment plans over the next two years. Some may wish to use their allocation to contribute to the development of new Extra Care Housing in their area. For full details and amounts by CASCR, click on the link below
