Adult Social Care Market Position Statement
Adult Social Care activity and financial breakdown
In the financial year 2020-21 the Council spend on Adult Social Care services was just under £56 million. The table below shows the comparison of spend by social care services from financial years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
The Council, partners and stakeholders continue to work within a challenging economic climate which will require all stakeholders to embrace the opportunity that innovation, efficiency and new models of care and support offer. In Stockton-on-Tees there is a continued focus on early intervention and prevention to maintain independence and give choice and control to individuals supported by greater access to good information and advice.
Adult Social Care service | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Residential - older people and physical disability | £15.3M | £15.2M | £15.7M | £16.1M |
Residential - learning disability | £7.0M | £7.0M | £7.2M | £6.8M |
Residential - mental health | £10.1M | £10.2M | £10.1M | £9.6M |
Home care (including learning disability and mental health) | £12.6M | £12.0M | £13.7M | £14.1M |
Direct payments | £7.3M | £7.5M | £7.3M | £7.6M |
Extra Care | £1.7M | £1.7M | £1.9M | £1.7M |
Total Spend | £54.0M | £53.6M | £55.9M | £55.9M |
The highest proportion of spend in 2021 was for services for older people and those with a physical disability, followed by home care which includes learning disability and mental health.
The population projections for people 65 and over will continue to rise and we can expect that spend for this proportion of people will also increase, without the right and appropriate intervention.
