Why this petition matters

Started by Leonie Hammett

Please raise the money paid for social care  to care companies. We need to pay carers more.
Too many care companies are understaffed and can’t take on new care packages as the local councils pay so little. Every day people are waiting to receive care, some have been waiting for months. Bed blocking is a major issue in this country at the moment and is causing serious distress to those involved. 
Increase in rates paid to care companies will increase wages which in turn would increase carers meaning hospital beds would become available for those needed.
