MANY elderly people could face problems in the next year as the social services threaten to cut care funding.
A £3bn funding cut could affect people with diabetes, Parkinson’s disease and dementia.
Canterbury’s Age Concern could be affected by the cuts. Judith Griffiths, director of Age Concern, Canterbury, explains what the cuts will mean for them, “We may have to change a few things, and mainly we will not be able to provide home care for those who cannot afford full-time care. This is something that we are quite certain we will not be able to provide. This is such a shame.”
Kent has the highest migration rate of over 65’s in the country, meaning that it will affect the county more than others.
Talks among Canterbury City Council and charities in Kent will start this month, and decisions will be made by March about the future of the elderly generation of Kent.
