Councils in England fear they will have to make cuts of 20%
Councils could see a shortfall of up to £3.5bn across the local government social care sector.

Labour’s analysis shows that if local authorities did not touch their social care budgets, to make cuts they would have to close all libraries, children’s centres, leisure centres, stop all spending on parks, turn off all street lights, carry out no winter gritting, end all planning and building control work.

I't been happening year on year for a long time where people are having care hours cut to save councils money.
There is only so much in the pot. I know someone personally that was told the use of a ceiling track hoist, required only one carer, after years of being told that it was a 2 person job for health and safety reasons.

I haven’t given it a listen yet, but this could be interesting:

An interview with Donna Hall, chair of the New Local Government Network & Bolton Foundation Trust, former CEO of Wigan Council.

The second half is a look to the future of social care and other public services, by the leader of the biggest UK real life experiment – The Wigan Deal. Donna answers the question “What would your advice be to local leaders who don’t want to go back” with both strategic ideas and detail of practical actions and areas for focus. She says “The last few months have taught us that a lot of the things we thought we couldn’t do, we can do”
