Petition Reverse the past 5 years of cuts to Social Care Budgets

The NHS is grinding to a halt often due to the lack of social care for patients awaiting discharge from hospital, and from the lack of community care obliging the elderly to attend A&E when they would be better helped at home. The UK's Social care budget has been cut by 31% over the past 5 years.
