Under the Care Act local authorities are responsible for making sure the care needs of their residents are met but it is clear that they are struggling.
That is why we have set up a £1.4 billion fund for local authorities to use to meet their duties under the care act – and to make sure they are paying the fair cost of care to care homes and agencies.
