Local councils are being funded less and less by central government. I work within a sector of the NHS that is broadly involved with MASH ((Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub) and from where I'm sitting, things are looking more and more bleak, especially for social services because the budgets are now so ludicrously tight.
They can only spend according to their cloth and there's not much of that at the moment. The problem here is, local councils are going to take the flack for this deliberately mean central government decision. This really is central government passing the buck.
