"New analysis has revealed that there is a projected £907 million funding gap in London Council budgets by 2018, due to social care pressures.

"Indeed Brent’s own projections show that there is a £45 million gap due to care pressures by 2020. The projections are accurately mapped out and take into consideration factors such as, cuts to Council budgets, the rise in the elderly population, the fact that younger and working age disabled people are living longer with long-term conditions too."
