Care cuts inevitable in 'fragile and failing' system Further cuts to care services in England will be needed in the coming year, council chiefs are warning.
Local authorities plan to spend £22.5bn in 2019-20 on services for older people and younger adults with disabilities.
That represented a rise of £400m on last year but was not enough to keep up with demand and inflation, the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) said.
It warned services were "fragile and failing", after surveying 151 councils. BBC News
