Salford Council Staff Propose Taking Over Adult Social Services
Council staff in Greater Manchester have proposed forming their own not-for-profit company in order to run Salford City Council's adult social care.
The cabinet is set to decide later today if the 400 staff who currently run the services for the council, can transfer to an independent not-for-profit company.
It is understood that the money would help protest the services from budget cuts.
Similar schemes are currently in place in Blackburn and Darwen.
