Annotation	The deadline for submissions to the comprehensive spending review (CSR) approaches. This first of three articles outlines the CSR's key issues for the social care sector. The author makes a case for a larger share of funding for older people's services, disabilities and mental health, children, also other new costs such as safeguarding vulnerable children and information sharing. However, extra funding is unlikely, and the emphasis is likely to be on efficiency savings. The Association of Directors of Social Services (ADSS) and Counsel and Care - as representatives of major stakeholders - have lobbied HM Treasury. The article draws on the Local Government Association (LGA) reports, "Without a care?" and "Meeting the challenges ahead". (RH).
