A Local Government Association (LGA) press release states that 9 out of 10 councils are warning that a lack of adequate Government funding could jeopardise vital reforms of the adult social care system under the new Care Act

Problems with funding could place care services out of reach for thousands of people, their families and their carers.

The LGA has written to Health Minister Norman Lamb on behalf of councils across England and Wales to outline the growing concerns and urge the Government to commit to plugging any funding shortfall.

There is still time to respond to the Care Act regulations and guidance consultation.
