Closed Make Dilnot happen by 2015

Closed on

The Leader of Kent County Council Paul Carter calls on the Government to limit the amount families have to pay for adult care to £35,000 for any one individual.
Paying for care can be overwhelming and often results in people having to sell their homes and lose their life savings.
But there IS an answer.
The Dilnot Report has identified a way to cap the horrendous costs some families and individuals have to pay for their care in their old age.
Implementing Dilnot would cost the Government about £1.7 billion a year.
Leader of Kent County Council – Paul Carter – says “Through this petition we are putting pressure on the Government to take action and implement Dilnot by 2015.”
Please show YOUR support for these recommendations by signing our petition NOW.
