LEEDS faces a complete collapse of its care system as 12 of the city’s providers threaten to withdraw their services, GMB union warned today.
The care companies, which represent half the city’s providers, have written to Leeds City Council saying they will be forced to stop looking after their 1,500 service users unless the council stumps up more cash.
The cost of care provision will rise by an estimated 8.6 per cent due to National Insurance increases and inflation.
