Adult Social Care
The county council have a responsibility to provide excellent care for people with mental health problems, learning disabilities, and physical disabilities, including frailty. We should aim to allow everyone to lead a decent, fulfilling life.
“We will ensure nobody is left behind by committing to providing excellent social care services”
The funding arrangement for adult social care is widely accepted as being a complete mess, but has been overlooked by the government. We will pressure the government to provide adequate funding for excellent adult social care in Lincolnshire.
We recognise the important role of families and carers in enabling people to remain active and independent as they grow old. We will work closely with the NHS and voluntary organisations to provide the best care for those who need it, and to properly support carers whose hard-work can odten be overlooked.
