Local government minister, Rishi Sunak, said: 'The Better Care Fund has made a real difference by enabling more people to be cared for at home sooner after treatment, freeing up much-needed hospital beds. This is testament to the hard work of local authorities, the NHS, and social care providers working together.

'We remain committed to supporting local collaboration so that health and care services continue to improve.'
