The Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) publishes its annual survey of adult social care budgets today.
This survey is regarded as an authoritative view of the state of funding for the care needs of older and disabled people, and the implications that result from this. There are growing numbers of people with complex care needs, and also, an ever-increasing number of family and friends providing care for them.
The survey highlights the fact that the 2% council tax precept only covers two thirds of the care cost increases associated with the National Living Wage – future financing of adult social care is in a precarious position.
