English Devolution plan: Deafening silence on social care
16 Dec 2024
EMBARGO: 00:01 Monday 16th December
Commenting ahead of government's English Devolution plan, Liberal Democrat Local Government spokesperson Vikki Slade MP said:
“The deafening silence from the government on the social care crisis is hugely concerning.
“Council budgets are on the brink. The previous Conservative government pushed so many local authorities to the edge of bankruptcy.
“Without properly investing in social care more of the vital services that councils provide will disappear to those who desperately need them."
