Warwickshire: spending in cash and in 2025-26 prices, £ million

Real terms use HM Treasury’s GDP deflator, 2025-26 prices. Breaks in the series: 2024-25: The adult social care finance report moved from NHS England (NHS Digital) to the Department of Health and Social Care, which now publishes it with the activity report as two releases. The return itself did not change. 2014-15: The adult social care finance return replaced the PSS-EX1 return; the publisher’s long-run table joins them. Council figures by setting start in 2016-17 here. 2015-16: The Better Care Fund pooled NHS and council money from 2015-16; NHS contributions count as income in the adult social care return. 2020-21: Covid-19: extra grants such as the Infection Control Fund raised spending in 2020-21 and 2021-22. 2011-12: PESA 2011 counted some personal social services under unemployment; later editions count none there, so the UK split by purpose shifts slightly before 2011-12.

Cash is as published. Real terms are in 2025-26 prices, using HM Treasury’s GDP deflator. Per resident divides by ONS mid-year population for the area the body serves. Changes compare the same body in consecutive years.

These figures are published beside the funding, not as its result. Demand, geography, recording practice and many other things differ between areas and change over time; none of these charts shows cause and effect.
