Significant events
- “SCA Care's financial performance reflects a reduction in income, particularly from local authorities, falling outside the top 10 providers after care framework recommissioning.”
- “The loss of several substantial packages negatively impacted the 2024 budget position, against a backdrop of significant shortfalls in social care funding nationally.”
- “Southampton City Council narrowly avoided Section 114 bankruptcy and is undergoing substantial restructuring alongside Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board.”
- “Mobilisation of the new extra care service in New Milton experienced a four-month delay, launching in April 2024 instead of January 2024, but quickly became fully occupied.”
