The annual Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) Budget Survey is an important resource in understanding the concerns of local authorities in relation to adult social care. The Department regularly meets with representatives from the Association and, in partnership with the Local Government Association; ADASS delivers a programme of sector led improvement in social care on behalf of the Department.

The Government will set out further proposals for social care reform in due course, alongside the 10-year National Health Service plan. We will take into account representations such as the ADASS Budget Survey into account as we consider these.
