Healthwatch Stoke-on-Trent responds to the City Council's budget consultation, commending the administration for not making further cuts to frontline services. But, expresses concern that the proposed reviews of both children's and adult's social care are more likely to reduce the service an individual receives, than increase it.
Healthwatch Stoke-on-Trent goes on to suggest that taking a co-designing, Asset-Based Community Development approach using data from collated equality impact assessments, will result in the development of solutions, both area specific and city-wide.
