LGA responds to Coram family and childcare trust's annual older people's care survey

Councillor Ian Hudspeth, Chairman of LGA’s Community Wellbeing Board, responds to Coram Family and Childcare Trust's annual Older People's Care Survey.

“Councils are doing everything in their power to provide high quality adult and social care support to adults of all ages in very difficult circumstances.

“Work to find a long-term funding solution for adult social care has been kicked into the long grass by successive governments for the past two decades and has brought these vital services to breaking point.

“It was good that the Budget included some much-needed extra funding for under-pressure local services next year, including those for adults.

“Further action by the Government is needed in the Local Government Finance Settlement to plug the immediate funding gap facing adult social care. It also needs to carefully consider the findings of the LGA’s green paper when it set out its own plans to secure the longer-term future of future of care and support.”
