HARD work, determination and imagination have ensured that Birmingham's adult care service is at last performing well.
We send our congratulations to staff and the officials and councillors who oversee them on the two star rating the service has been awarded by the Commission for Social Care Inspection.
Plenty of brickbats were thrown in their direction during the years the service was under-performing.
It is right they should now be singled out for praise – and it is reassuring to know that the vulnerable adults in this city are getting the care they need.
