To: The next Welsh Government
Profit has no place in social care
Join us in calling for a publicly funded, publicly delivered social care system in Wales that puts people, not profits, first.
Why is this important?
Wales has the largest private sector delivery of care of the devolved nations. The ongoing profiteering from social care is the barrier to the improved care our nation deserves.
Billions of pounds of public money are stripped from Welsh care by private equity groups and property speculation on care homes.
Meanwhile, care workers continue to struggle to make ends meet with low pay and poor conditions, and those needing care are faced with a complex and fragile care system.
Care workers must be properly rewarded if we are to attract the thousands of workers we need to make care work.
And as citizens, we should expect public money to be spent on services and staff, not on lining the pockets of billionaires.
Social care should serve people, not profit margins.
Sign this petition to support our call on the next Welsh Government to create a National Care Service for Wales to ensure a high-quality, resilient service that prioritises the need of citizens in Wales.
