Abstract

The article discusses the report which focuses on the effects of the Care Bill in Great Britain. It reveals that spending on social care services for elderly has dropped by 769 million British pounds since 2010. Topics discussed include concerns on funding cuts, its impact on orders placed for specialist equipment such as wheelchairs and that older people deemed in "moderate" need are more likely to be affected by the cuts than those in "critical" and "substantial" need.
