2022/23 saw a possible change to a recent trend in publicly funded adult social care. Since 2015/16, more people have been asking for social care support but fewer people have been getting it. But in 2022/23, while more people again asked for support (see indicator 1, requests for support), there was a 2% increase in those who received it compared to 2021/22.
Was this the start of a new trend of more people getting publicly funded social care support?
