Oxfordshire County Council's proposal to cut £1.6 million from its contribution to the costs of local mental health services has been overturned following some vigorous campaigning. While the proposal to cut £1 million from the mental health pooled budget has been permanently withdrawn, the planned cut of £600K from mental health social work has simply been deferred until next year. Damaging proposals to cut care packages for older adults by £1.5M this year and again next year also remain on the table.
