Rejected petition The government to spend more on social care for the elderly and vulnerable.

There is a desperate need to increase social care funding. The elderly and those with disabilities are going to be adversely affected by a lack of funding, whether it is for home visits or day care. We need the government to consider funding options, even if this results in higher taxation.
