Local Account of Adult Social Care 2017-18
Every year we produce a ‘Local Account’ to inform people living in the Borough about the achievements, challenges and priorities for adult social care and the impact these have on people’s lives. It explains how much we spend, what we spend money on, what we are doing and our future plans, including any improvements.
We hope you enjoy reading our Local Account for 2017/2018. We would welcome your feedback, which will help us to continuously improve the information we provide in the Local Account. You can provide feedback by contacting the Department for People on Tel: 01702 215008 or e-mail. You can also use these contact details to request a copy in an alternate format, such as audio, large print or a translated version.
