Local government leaders fear £2.4bn of cash injections may finish, threatening services.
The biggest source of temporary funding is the Better Care Fund, that was set up to encourage joint working between councils and the NHS.
It is worth £1.8bn to councils this year and pays for a variety of different services, including care home places and emergency care teams to support people at home.The other two smaller pots are one-off funds that were set up to plug gaps while the government came up with plans to reform the entire system of social care funding.
He said councils would"reluctantly" have to start giving notice on contracts they have with agencies to provide these services soon, unless ministers act next week.His council has used the temporary funding to set up a discharge hub to help get patients out of hospital quickly as well as a team of"living well" co-ordinators to support frail older people to prevent them going into hospital.
"We're not quite sure what plans to make. If this money is not there we're going to see some significant service reductions," added Mr Fielding. A Department of Health and Social Care spokesman said funding for care would be revealed in next week's spending announcement.The spokesman said plans to reform social care funding - it is means-tested so some people end up with huge bills - would be revealed in"due course".
