Please provide these figures for the financial year and exclude care homes for the elderly in your response. If this specific level of detail is not possible, please provide the spending for adults in residential social care and supported living settings aged 18-64.
2. Please provide a breakdown of the annual cost for each provider, and whether they are private or local-authority run. If this is not possible, please provide the value of the top 3 most expensive contracts with private providers.
3. Please provide a snapshot of the number of adults with disabilities that are being, or have been, cared for in privately-run residential or supported living accommodation (or as per (1), adults in residential social care and supported living settings aged 18-64) on:

CLARIFICATION:
Supported living refers to a range of services and community living arrangements designed with individuals with disabilities and their families to support citizens with disabilities to attain or retain their independence or interdependence in their local communities.
A residential care home where someone with learning or physical disabilities is living - I'm not sure how much more I can define this.
Privately run meaning the local authority has tendered a contract with an external company to provide this service.
What we want to understand is the cost of residential settings run by private companies for working-age adults with disabilities of all kinds.
