Health leaders seek social care funding
Leaders from health and social care have written to the Chancellor urging him to tackle the substantial funding gap facing adult social care and public health in his Budget.
NHS Providers, the NHS Confederation and the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) have made the case for urgent social care funding, calling on the government to tackle the substantial funding pressures facing adult social care and public health budgets while highlighting the risks of inaction.
The letter read: “Failure to act now will have significant consequences for the health and care needs of millions of people who rely on adult social care to help them live their lives. The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has underlined his and the government’s commitment to relieve pressure on the hospital service by investing in primary and community care. This is most welcome, but it cannot succeed without recognising the interdependency of these services on public health and social care.”
