The Nuffield Trust warns that the adult social care sector in England faces potential collapse due to government-imposed tax and wage rises, with dire implications for vulnerable populations.
Demand for care services is expected to surge with an aging population, but the changes announced in the budget could lead to significant reductions in care availability and quality.
Charity and private providers of social care are not insulated from increased employer national insurance contributions, leading to dire financial pressures that could force many to close.
The financial implications of the national insurance hikes and living wage increases threaten the core stability of more than 18,000 care providers across England.
