Worrying quote from Ed Miliband: "Let me turn to the issue of benefits and say to the Prime Minister that we will work with him on his reforms to disability living allowance and to sickness benefits, because they are important reforms and they need to be done."
Including no.6: "Although different councils will start from different financial positions, with some more able to draw on reserves and find greater productivity improvements, the scale of the reduction in their income is likely to have significant implications for social care. Councils will inevitably have to consider increasing user charges and tightening (already fairly tight) eligibility criteria for access to services."
