Consessions for Care Homes to receive the amount of food require.
Work with food suppliers so that Care Homes are able to purchase the food we need to feed our vulnerable older service users.
We are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain the supplies and ingredients we require to feed the people in our care. An example - after not receiving our regular order of bread from Tescos, I asked the manager of our local branch and also the online delivery department if they could please help us. The online department said she would come back to me with an answer which she did some hours later to tell me there was nothing they could do for us. The manager of our local branch after a lot of pleading allowed me to purchase 4 loaves, even though there was a lot of bread in the store.
4 loaves of bread will not feed 40 residents!

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The supply of goods to care homes is a matter for individual care homes and local authorities, not the Government or Parliament.
We have published a petition calling on the Government to provide an Emergency fund for Health & Social Care Providers due to COVID-19, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/302969
We have also published a petition calling on the Government to issue care packages to the elderly and vulnerable, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/302190
