DH capital grant allocations

The Department of Health has published details of its capital grants to local authorities in England totalling £261m over two years.

The grants have been split into £129m for 2013-14 and a further £132m for 2014-15.

The accompanying DH letter states that the Community Capacity Grant will be allocated to local authorities, providing capital funding to support development in three key areas: personalisation, reform and efficiency.

In previous years some local authorities have used this to contribute to other investment streams to top up their Disabled Facilities Grant budgets or to contribute to meet the cost of developing specialist housing such as extra care housing.
