Unfortunately, a lack of funding can result in individuals being unable to access the care that they require or families having to self-fund care.

The council are trying their best in difficult circumstances, however if you or a relative are experiencing difficulties in obtaining services or support, you can seek independent assistance.
We offer a free 30-minute consultation and can discuss any social care issues, including Best Interest meetings, direct payments or assessments.
