Care in Crisis: Who Cares? A two-part BBC Panorama special on the deepening adult social care crisis

Crisis in Care follows the deepening crisis in Adult Social Care in one local authority over 10 months – Somerset County Council. Nearly half of Somerset’s annual budget is spent on Adult Social Care. Last summer it was on the brink of going bust – the financial pressures faced here are also being felt across the country.​ Rogan Productions together with BBC Social Affairs Correspondent, Alison Holt, were granted exclusive access to see first-hand the difficulties faced by Somerset’s Director of Adult Social Services, his team of social workers and local politicians.
