Service Description: The Adult Finance pages provide information about the costs and any contributions you may have to make for any services received through Adult Social Care. Each person is assessed on an individual basis to determine their contribution. Some people may have a minimal amount to pay and some people may have to pay the full amount. For those people that have to fund their own care and support we have included a page providing information, advice and support from external organisations.
