Rejected petition pay carers of medically complex family members a full living wage

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

More details

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
