MariaPCC 6 January 2025

More people with disabilities will be supported to remain in their homes thanks to immediate action the government is taking to improve adult social care, support the care workforce and take pressure off the NHS, the government has announced. Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting will confirm an £86 million boost to the Disabled Facilities Grant for this financial year – on top of the £86 million announced for next financial year at the Budget, taking the annual total to £711 million – to allow 7,800 more disabled and elderly people to make vital improvements to their home, allowing them to live more independent lives and reducing hospitalisations.
