This summary provides information about the money spent on adult social care by the social services departments of councils with adult social services responsibilities (CASSRs) in England. It contains information taken from CASSR administrative systems used to record personal social services expenditure and income. Gross current expenditure by CASSRs on adult social care in England in 2013-14 was £17.2 billion. This represents an increase of half of one per cent in cash terms from 2012-13, which is the equivalent of a one per cent decrease in real terms. Over the five year period from 2008-09, there has been a decrease of three per cent in real terms. 51 per cent (£8.8 billion) of expenditure in 2013-14 was on older people (those aged 65 and over), compared to 52 per cent in 2012-13. The average cost per adult aged 18 and over supported in residential care, nursing care or intensively in their own home was £597 per week in 2013-14, compared to the real term figure of £613 in 2012-13; a three per cent decrease in real terms and one per cent in cash terms.
