Please sign this petition:
When you're old and frail, you should be able to get the care you need to live out your days with dignity. You've worked hard and paid your taxes - now it's your turn to be looked after. But the government is starving the care system of cash. Right now too many elderly people aren't getting the help they need to get dressed, wash, or eat their lunch. [1]
The government’s trying to wash their hands of the problem: the minister in charge just said it’s up to families to look after elderly parents. [2] But that's rarely the whole solution, and in some cases that’s simply not possible.
A huge petition demanding better care for older people is a first step to show the government they can't shirk their responsibility. We expect them to fix this crisis - and fast.
