Adults’ Personal Social Services (PSS): Specific revenue and capital grant allocations and contributions to area based grant for 2008-09, 2009-10 & 2010-11

Children’s Services: Child & adolescent mental health services contribution to area based grant for 2008-09, 2009-10 & 2010-11

This letter sets out local authority allocations in respect of 2008-09 and provisional allocations in respect of 2009-10 and 2010-11. This letter is provided for information only, and should be read in conjunction with a similar circular [LAC reference 1810070005]  issued by DfES in respect of children’s PSS funding.

LASSL(DH)(2007)2 and LASSL(DH)(2007)3 are issued to follow up the overall Local Government Finance Settlement announced in Parliament on 06 December 2007.

LASSL(DH)(2007)2 notifies local authorities of both their adults’ Personal Social Services specific revenue and capital grant funding, and their children’s PSS funding insofar as this is provided by the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) grant.

Details of individual grant allocations (where these are available), and a brief description of each grant, appear in the relevant annexes. In addition to CAMHS, the funding streams in support of Carers and Local Involvement Networks (LINks) contributed by the Department of Health are intended to support both children and adults’ services. It is therefore important for this circular to be brought to the immediate attention of those responsible for children’s services.

LASSL(DH)(2007)3 sets out how we propose to distribute the social care and mental health elements of the single capital pot
