WMCA joins LGA and other sector bodies in calling on the Government to invest in Adult Social Care

Over 100 organisations have signed a public statement calling for the Government to work with the sector to mitigate the pressures on councils, providers and charities.

Funding for adult social care is an investment in us all, not a cost.
