Knowsley Adult Social Care – Market Position Statement

 

 

 

Welcome to the first Market Position Statement (MPS) for Adult Social Care in Knowsley. This document is a signal of our commitment to working more closely with organisations that support adults with social care needs.  We believe that working together is the only way we can ensure that services develop to meet people’s changing needs and aspirations while also ensuring that adult social care is sustainable now and in the future.

Transforming Adult Social Care – 'The future of Adult Social Care in Knowsley'

 

Over the next 20 years the percentage of people over 65 will more than double in Knowsley, which means there will be a greater demand on both health and social care. This increased pressure on services will not be sustainable, as Knowsley Council, like so many others, is dealing with unprecedented budgetary cuts in light of Government funding cuts.
