If a Day Centre shuts because the provider goes bankrupt or has it’s central funding cut is that ‘unlawful’ unless you have a review? What would a review do if it was the only provider?

I don’t think the law will help us here. Only money can solve these problems.

For then theseTories allowing Local Authorities (LAs) to apply for easements under Coronavirus Act 2020 was also so wrong, for what is the point bof legistlation which didn’t go far enough and then at the first signs of problems allow for easements to be made, when it reallitymore was needed not less.

So it was good that only a few LAs applied for easements, but for some who didn’t to underhandedly do what they didn’t apply for was more wrong and should be illegal.

But due to the Tories also making it harder to go for Judical Reviews by their tightening of the criteria for Legal Aid means that the majority of persons with unmet needs are being left ‘high and dry’, this is scandalist.

But it is more of a scandal that these Tory Governments have since 2010 severely reduced LA Budgets by the dreaded Austerity Cuts which have never been reversed and to some extent still being enforced more and more.

If LAs are not allowed to fund and more than ever before fully social care thereby increasing drastically the social care crisis then the NHS crisis will have no hope of being solved. For solve the social care crisis and that will be a long way to improve the NHS crisis.

While this Tory Government is starting to fund more some aspects of social care it is far too little and far too late. For at least £13 billion is required for social care and not the fractions of £millions forthcoming.

More people have to be encouraged to come into the care profession and that needs massive increases in the rate of pay for care workers, at least around £14/15 per hour, well in excess of the current £10 and the promised £11 in April 2023 with the increase in the National Living Wage.

But pay is just one element for there are many more including increased travel expenses, much improved working conditions and much more.

Whether we know it or not and a large proportion of the UK population don’t Social care is a very essential emergency service, up there with all the others, NHS, Police, Fire etc.

A Government needs to take action, but I don’t see this or any Tory Government doing so and currently not even any forthcoming Labour Government.

We are all dying through lack of sufficient needs being actioned, perhaps this is what UK Governments wish for.
