We know, of course, what percentage of our budget is spent on the NHS, but the same attention or prestige is not given to social care budgets. In England, of course, we know that the Conservatives have cut the funding available for social care and the impact of that, I think most would agree, has been clear in terms of increasing the pressure on hospitals. Here, in Wales, the Welsh Government takes pride in the fact that social care budgets haven’t been cut to such a degree as they have in England, but why, therefore, has the number of adaptations to people’s homes declined by 21 per cent since April 2011? Why has the amount of equipment provided for users of services reduced by 15 per cent over the same period?
