Buckinghamshire's social care satisfaction trails England's average, amid warnings of a funding shortfall.

A national survey found that satisfaction with social care varies widely across England, with Buckinghamshire scoring below average at 63.7%, compared to the South East average of 67% and England's average of 65.4%. ADASS warns that recent budget changes could worsen the situation, potentially creating a £1.3 billion shortfall. The Department of Health and Social Care plans to provide an additional £3.5 billion to local authorities in 2025-26 to support social care.
