Association of Directors of Adult Social Services -
This survey analyses the current state of adult social care finances by drawing on the experiences of current leaders in adult social care. It aims to provide intelligence on how adult social care is responding to the challenges of meeting increased demand while managing reduced resources. It reveals that the proportion of council spending on adult social care is set to increase by 1.3 per cent but councils are still having to make 8 per cent cuts in overall budgets for a second year in succession due to increasing costs and demand.
