Rejected petition To extend the energy price cap to all care residences
From individuals to large organisations, people are concerned about how they will cover energy costs. The impact on care residences may mean hikes in weekly contributions from the elderly and infirm, or redundancy measures being imposed which would affect the quality of care provided.
More details
Elderly and infirm people are the most vulnerable members of our communities: I believe a society is judged by how it supports those same people. This is an opportunity for the new Cabinet to demonstrate its commitment to helping everyone. Why not start therefore with care residences?
