pay carers of medically complex family members a full living wage

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To pay parents and carers of medically complex children a full living wage if they cannot get care packages to enable them to continue to work or seek work

Too many families like myself have had to quit work to look after medically complex children who require 24:7 care. Irony is that it costs state far more to provide adequate care needs than it would giving parents option to do the care for full living wage

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you would like to see full time carers receive more money for caring for their relatives and dependants, but the terms "medically complex" and "living wage" are unclear.
