Adult social care suffering under cuts, survey suggests
Care for vulnerable older people has been suffering – both in quality and quantity – because of funding cuts, a survey of 200 social workers suggests.
In the survey by Age UK and the College of Social Work, more than 85% of respondents said they had seen the impact of cuts in the past year.
Of those, 95% said the cuts in England presented “a risk to the dignity of their older clients”.
The Department for Health says the care of older people is a priority.
Councils across the country have been facing a funding squeeze under the coalition’s spending cuts.
