Provide FREE Social Care to all in the Armed Forces and Emergency Services.

Closed 259 signatures

What the petition asks

Social care should be provided free of cost, immediately, to all those that are in care or need to go into care in the future, that have served or are currently serving in the Armed Forces or in the Emergency Services, and to their spouses or partners.
Social care should ultimately come under the NHS with free care to all, removing the total injustice that sees over 400 homes being sold each week, whilst those that rent can get care for free. We know this will take years not months.

But first let us respect those that serve us all! They should not have to wait.

Many will have dementia. Appropriate organisations such as the Alzheimer’s Society must be involved in debates to define the parameters of the changes to ensure their credibility.
