What the petition asks
CQC’s annual State of Care report recently highlighted the trend of home care operators handing back contracts to councils because they can no longer afford to honour them.
"Allied Healthcare are not the only major care provider experiencing financial problems.” - Bidding to provide care services which in itself is an acceptable system if applied correctly and driven by quality first and cost second. However what is not acceptable is that some under pressure Local Authorities are dictating the rates paid to service providers, and working on the most economically advantageous model of commissioning.
