MEETING IN PARLIAMENT
On 18 November 2024, End Social Care Disgrace held a meeting in Westminster Hall, chaired by Rt Hon John McDonnell MP MPs. Peers and members of social care organisations attended.
“It offered a great opportunity to link up across parties and with grassroots campaigners to discuss how we can stop the social care can being kicked down the road yet again. We hope that we can campaign together for the urgent establishment of a National Care, Support and Independent Living Service, while also trying to ensure that current injustices with regard to disabled and older people, carers and care/support workers are addressed.”
