For the financial years 2021-22, 2020-21, 2019-20, please provide the below. 

Please note: if the exact figure is not known, please provide the figure that the council uses in its own accounting/record keeping, and indicate that it is a council-estimated figure. 

  1. How much money was paid out by the council to providers to supply exempt accommodation in total in each of these financial years?
    • 2019/20 - £1,259,430.56

    • 2020/21 - £1,072,737.95

    • 2021/22 - £1,206,681.79

  2. How many people in the council area were housed in exempt accommodation paid for by the council?
    • 2019/20 - 263

    • 2021/22 - 231

  3. What is the average claim (in £) by providers per individual per year to supply exempt accommodation in your council area? 

    Unsure what this question means - do you mean the average weekly rent? Is this gross or net? Or, do you mean average Housing Benefit award? Or, do you mean the total per year average?

  4. If different from q3, what is the highest claim (in £) by providers per individual per year to supply exempt accommodation in your council area? 

    Again unsure what this means? Needs clearer question.
