ITV News has reported that budgets for adult social care are a hot topic at the moment. With the current financial year drawing to a close, Local Authorities are having to decide how best to allocate their finances in the year ahead.
Current issues facing Local Authorities include:
- Already tight budgets being required to stretch further
- A potential £2.3 billion funding gap by 2020, according to the Local Government Association; and
- The number of people requiring adult social care increasing every year.
