Make pre-bookable respite available in Sheffield for people living with dementia

With around 7000 people in Sheffield living with dementia, there are an equal number of family carers making physical & emotional sacrifices caring for them at home, thus saving the government millions of pounds. Currently there are less than 20 care homes in Sheffield offering pre-bookable respite.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Decisions on adult social care in Sheffield are taken by Sheffield City Council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
