Adult social care on council tax - Find a freedom of information request

Request

These were calculations from the year 2023

 

It's concerning adult social care as this seems to be part of the council tax bill, and they are not entirely clear on what they mean exactly as their bills are not true bills, as what's contributed is not 100% relayed on the papers they send you as a bill.

 

Could I please be sent information on:

 

1. How much Lincolnshire County Council paid towards residential care homes, because from working in a care home myself years ago, the person going into the care home had to be financially assessed. And paid for their stay greatly out of their pension or the sale of their homes.

 

2. Could I please be sent a breakdown, of how much government funding comes into Lincolnshire County Council on a monthly or yearly basis.

 

3. What is the money from the government fund actually meant to cover, i.e. care, home care, roads, school costs, school travel costs.

 

According to the 2021 census East Lindsey population was 142,300 which has probably risen since then. 

 

East Lindsey district council are creating an astronomical amount for the population to pay towards your company.

Total amount on their expenditure towards your company

=£149,765,058.00 - £42,931,799.10 = £106,833,259 Profit

 

How is that a fair amount to force on the public?
