Major Overspend In Social Care

Councillors reveal overspend as work gets underway to reign in spending.

Councillors admit that they're on course to overspend on social work by more than £14 million this year.

Politicians met yesterday to thrash out a deal to begin making savings of £92 million by 2018.

Fife Council says reducing sickness absence and unused hours in home care as well as an expansion to the in-house foster care service will reduce pressure on long-term expenditure.

Deputy Leader Councillor David Ross says it's about all departments pulling together.
