The financial challenge facing adult social care continued to be as bad as it has been in recent history, with services under intolerable pressures, warns Adass.
Four out of five local authorities are on course to overspend their adult social services budgets, highlighting the dire need for financial intervention from the government.
Adass’s president, Melanie Williams, emphasizes that these conditions do not support the government’s proposed national care service, predicting reduced service levels and choices.
With about 500,000 people waiting for care assessments and growing complex care cases, Adass underscores the urgent need for action to stabilize the system as conditions worsen.
