Dudley's Telecare service may raise fees by nearly 10% to £23.40 in April 2025, due to a funding shortfall.

Dudley's Telecare service, which aids elderly and vulnerable individuals, may raise its monthly fee by 9.88% to £23.40 plus VAT in April 2025, pending council approval. The service is transitioning to digital technology and has seen a decline in users after removing a 50% discount for council tenants. This change led to a shortfall of £220,000, which the council plans to address by not filling vacancies.
