Sheffield is set to receive £4.6m in extra funding for adult social care, but a local MP has claimed the city's budget has a spending gap of £35m.

According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, Sheffield South East MP Clive Betts has said the sum will go towards adult and social care in the city from the £650 million promised by the Chancellor in Monday's Budget.

He said: "In my own city of Sheffield, from those national figures, Sheffield would probably get around £4.6 million extra for social care on a one-off basis because it's not going to continue.

"The current spending gap for next year in the city's budget is £35 million, by 2020 they'll continue to have to use reserves on an unsustainable basis and Sheffield isn't even in as bad a position overall as many other county councils."
