Dreading them trying to cut S's package, I'm already on my knees from having him home 24/7 for 4 weeks of lockdown.Potential changes to social care packages: Yesterday the National Care Forum confirmed that six local authorities in England have already applied the so called ‘easement’ power to social care. This means that local authorities could reduce or even stop providing care to some people if the local situation becomes critical. The areas which have currently switched on the easement power are; Sunderland City Council, Middlesbrough, Warwickshire, Staffordshire County Council, Birmingham City Council and Solihull Council. ”
