Local Liberal Democrats today reacted with anger after it was confirmed that the Conservative administration would be seeking cuts of ?12 million from its social care budget.
Liberal Democrats have accused Suffolk County Council of targeting the most vulnerable members of society when it looks for cuts in its budget next year.
Liberal Democrats were disappointed by the cuts to the social care budget.
Adult Care spokesperson Inga Lockington said: "I am disappointed that yet again the administration have chosen to concentrate their cuts on this area of service.
"The effect these cuts are having on vulnerable adults must be distressing."
"Yet again the Tories have chosen to direct their cuts at the most vulnerable in society rather than making the efficiency gains they said they would make before coming in to power."
