Elderly and disabled being failed by a social care sector following years of underfunding, Unison warns
THOUSANDS of elderly and disabled people are being failed by a social care sector that is in “a shocking state” following many years of underfunding, Unison has warned.
The union also blamed privatisation and workforce exploitation, adding that the recruitment crisis in social care would not be resolved until wages rise.
Unison said the government’s promised fair pay agreement would be the first step towards a national care service in England.
