Recommendation
It is clear from the evidence we have heard that funding shortfalls are having a serious negative impact on the lives of those who use the social care system, as well impacting the pay levels of the workforce and threatening the sustainability of the care market. An immediate funding increase is needed to avoid the risk of market collapse caused by providers withdrawing from offering services to council-funded clients and focusing exclusively on the self-pay market.
