AnnotationDespite having the lowest council tax rate in north-east England and an ageing population, Sunderland is bucking the trend and offering services to people with "low" needs. This article considers how (along with Calderdale), Sunderland is able to continue to offer Fair Access to Care Services (FACs), citing as factors preventive services and a good working relationship between health and social services. In contrast, are four councils with "critical" eligibility criteria: Harrow, West Berkshire, Northumberland and Wokingham. (RH).
