Petition Require local authorities to offer a hot meal delivery service

Provision of a meals on wheels service is not a statutory service requirement and Local Authorities in England do not have to provide this service. I want the Government to require local authorities to offer a service providing hot food to the oldest and most vulnerable people at home.

More details

Warwickshire County Council is to withdraw its Meals on Wheels home delivery service at the end of May. This decision will directly affect hundreds of older and vulnerable people who use this service. This service cut may mean that people can no longer stay at home and will need to move into care, putting extra strain on the NHS and stretched care services, and potentially lead to ill health or death.
