Legislate to make community meals on wheels a statutory service

Closed 706 signatures

What the petition asks

Make community meals on wheels a statutory service for vulnerable people unable to access a fresh nutritious daily meal.
We believe this would save billions of pounds in costs to the NHS and adult social care in treating the costs of malnutrition and associated illness and would improve health outcomes, whilst combatting loneliness and social isolation.
