We are really glad to have the backing of @AccessCharity1 We support their efforts for government transparency around social care data, in particular the need to acknowledge unmet need, which is being denied in order to balance budgets!
WE SUPPORT THE CHARTER FOR THE RIGHT TO WELLBEING! We need URGENT change to care assessments in line with legislation!
