Dorset Council must foot the bill for mounting costs as a result of the pandemic
COVID costs are continuing to mount for Dorset Council with additional financial support for some services expected to be required well into next year.
In addition to suffering lost income from items such as car parking and leisure centres the authority is also now having to pick up some of the bills previously met by Government grants.
One of these is payments to help patients leaving hospital which has been reduced from six weeks to four and may disappear altogether by the autumn.
