Ageing UK population drove decision to direct more funds to adult care, says Northamptonshire County Council finance member Northamptonshire County Council insists an increased demand for NHS services amid the UK's ageing population has added extra pressure on adult social care services in the county.
This, according to cabinet member for finance Councillor Robin Brown, has driven the decision to direct an extra £24.6m on adult social care as proposed in the 2018-19 draft budget released yesterday.
Bed-blocking and home care for the elderly were also cited as reasons to allocate the additional funds. Northamptonshire Telegraph
