The net expenditure for Adults’ Services in 2023-24 was £297 million.
This is an increase of £39 million (+15.3%) from 2022-23. The main reasons were rising demand for social care, greater complexity of needs and an average fee increase of 9% paid to providers to cover inflationary pressures, including in relation to the National Living Wage. Since the county council continues to face significant financial challenges, it remains a priority to deliver adult social care in a more sustainable way, particularly by focusing on demand management and seeking to enable people to live independently in the community for as long as possible.
