The future of care home provision in Northumberland is in jeopardy, a care home body has warned.
Care North East (CNEN), which represents care home providers and care home associations across the region, has warned the industry is on the brink of collapse due to the actions of Northumberland County Council in recent years.
The organisation claims it has been trying to engage with the council so Northumberland can maintain high quality care services but has faced an uphill battle to get the authority to engage.
