Really looking forward to joining this panel at #CareShowLondon on 30 April.
Too often, care, health and housing work in silos—and people fall through the gaps. We’ll be talking about how we can do things differently with joined-up, person-centred support.
Come and say hello!

There are concerns the rising cost of social care, which larger county and unitary councils have to legally fund, will pull funding away from the basic but essential services district councils provide.

Council services 'could suffer due to social care costs' if government creates 'super councils'
Local councils have been in talks with the government about how they operate, with sources saying they could be reorganised to group smaller councils together.
