social care blog 2010.10.20
The months of rumours, leaks and speculation are over; the Comprehensive Spending Review has finally been announced. As expected, for
social care, it does not make for fun reading.
However, to paraphrase Winston Churchill, this is not the end, it is not the beginning of the end, it is the end of the beginning. Next month, government departments will set out business plans to outline how they will implement cuts. This is where the real detailed information about cuts will come at a local level, and we will all find out which departments, services, projects, charities etc will retain funding, be closed, or face hard times.
