Recommendation 14
14
Paragraph: 93
Local authorities face acute financial pressures for adult social care, requiring sustainable funding increases.
Conclusion
While the additional funding announced in Autumn Statement 2022 has provided some brief respite for local authorities facing particularly acute pressures, a consistent and sustainable increase in funding is required. We have heard evidence of ongoing concerns about the continuing cost and demand pressures affecting adult social care. The absence of any additional funding announced in the Autumn Statement 2023, and the prospect of future real terms funding cuts, has exacerbated those concerns.
