Alexiou, Alexandros and Barr, Benjamin (2021) Local Authority Finance: Net Current Expenditure - Social Care services (FIN_07_05). [Data Collection]
Description
Summary This indicator describes the annual net expenditure for Social Care services provided by every Local Authority in England since 2002. After 2011, Social Care services are being individually reported as Adult and Children Social Care services. In order to keep comparisons possible, both types of services were aggregated to calculate spending for all Social Care services. The net expenditure for Social Care services is defined as the total (gross) Social Care services expenditure minus any income that may be related to delivering these services, such as sales, fees and charges. Technical description The indicator was compiled from annual revenue outturn estimates of Local Authority (LA) revenue expenditure and financing. The net expenditure for Social Care services is defined as the gross service expenditure minus any income that is related to delivering these services, in particular a) Sales, fees and charges and b) Other types of income. Expenditure values are given on the basis of financial years, i.e. from April 1st to March 31st. Values are expressed in thousands (£). Since some services are provided in Upper Tier and others in Lower Tier LAs, individual spending figures from Upper Tier LAs were distributed to Lower Tier LAs based on annual population ratios (indicator FIN_07_05L), and Lower Tier LA spending was distributed to Upper Tier LAs by aggregating (indicator FIN_07_05U). Expenditure values from historic LA geography have been referenced to the 2018 LA geography. This includes changes in name/codes, merges, or splits of old LAs to new LAs based on population ratios for that year. The service expenditure is expressed as the total amount as well as per capita for direct comparisons. However, expenditure figures were not adjusted for inflation.
