Just £600m has been allocated for local government funding of social care and an £86m increase to the Disabled Facilities Grant, but with care provider staff costs already sitting at over 70% of the employer operating costs, care providers will be facing tough decisions.
We have grave concerns about the impact of these new measures on providers and the social care sector as a whole.
We’ve signed the #ProvidersUnite open letter to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, urgently calling for an immediate review of these measures and for the establishment of exemptions similar to those granted to the NHS. Alternatively, we ask that she adjusts Local Government Finance to bridge this funding gap.
If you are a care provider, an organisation involved in the sector, or a concerned citizen, please sign the letter too.
