What the petition asks
The Government were talking about putting a cap on how much money a self-funding care patients, including those with dementia, should pay for their care, however it never really got anywhere.
I think there should be a cap on how much someone is expected to pay for their care when they have no choice.
There are many things coming to light about patients that have illnesses that are only going to get worse and some people who worked extremely hard back in the day are going to lose everything they ever worked for. Their legacy gone
