“Over
£1bn worth of funding will be taken from social care services in the
next year alone, leaving thousands of elderly and disabled people
unable to perform basic tasks such as dressing, eating and washing,
council care bosses have warned.”
“ADASS
[Association of Directors of Adult Social Services], who produced the
report warned this would add to the pressure already put on the NHS
echoing opinions by health service leaders who said the NHS would not
survive another five years of austerity if no money was put into
social care and hospitals.”
“Adult
social services have already suffered from £4.6bn since 2009 and are
now preparing for a further £1bn cut, resulting in a predicted
£4.3bn black hole in social care funding in Egland by 2020.”
