  • Rising National Insurance costs will add to bills for staff in health and social care councillors heard. Local authorities await clarity on whether government will foot the bill

The article from MSN discusses the financial implications for West Lothian's Health and Social Care Partnership due to an upcoming increase in National Insurance contributions. The wage bill for the partnership, which employs around 2,000 staff, is expected to rise as a result of this tax hike. This increase comes at a time when the partnership is already facing significant financial pressures, with a projected overspend of £8.5 million for the current year. The rise in National Insurance, set to take effect from January 6, will add to these costs, potentially affecting the services provided or necessitating further budget adjustments. The article highlights concerns about the sustainability of public sector finances and the potential impact on service delivery amidst these rising costs.
