Who would have thought gutting council budgets and giving them more responsibility for Adult Social care from 2012 (Health Act pushed through by Lansley) would leave so many now to cut services and raise taxes.
Adult Social care - accounts for about 22% of the budget for local councils. Housing accounts for 3%.
Adult social care covers services for older people including nursing, home, residential and day care and meals and services for people with a physical disability, learning disability or mental health needs.

The annual survey by the Local Government Information Unit thinktank found that cuts were increasingly visible and that after eight years of austerity – which has cost English councils 40% of their central funding
Central funding now accounts for about 52% of council funding down from about 75-80%. Council Taxes now account for 25% of funding, about 20% comes from redistributed business rates.
Cameron was right we will PAY MORE FOR LESS.
