New campaign calls for a national care, support and independent living service
HEALTH workers and campaigners are calling for a national care service to replace the chaotic privatised system.
Eleven national and local organisations have united behind the demand for a publicly owned and run national care, support and independent living service to care for Britain’s most vulnerable.
The service would end the current profit-driven private care system which has seen tens of thousands of care workers quit and which saw vulnerable care home residents ravaged by the spread of Covid-19 almost two years ago.
