The leader of a cash-strapped council wants people to take more responsibility for relatives' care.
Ms Ogle-Welbourn said: "One of the things we focus on is prevention because if we don't prevent things happening it'll cost us more down the line."
"Government grants have reduced, so it's not just one thing, it's an accumulation of things that have happened over the last 10 years."Carol Potgieter, a care company director in Peterborough, said she was "seeing an escalation" in costs, partly down to the coronavirus pandemic. "Where are they going to find the money from? Once again, that comes off the bottom line of the provider."Labour opposition leader on Peterborough City Council, Shaz Nawaz, said the authority should have done more to raise incomeHe said: "Cutting costs and bringing in more income were two things we had to do and we haven't done them as we ought to have done them.
A spokesperson for the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities said: "We have provided more than £12bn directly to councils over the past 18 months, with more than £6bn available to spend as they see fit.
