Fair and Equal Government Aid for Healthcare Businesses
Government assistance for Covid-19 is far from fair. Those of us in Healthcare have been completely bypassed with regards to financial help. All of the aid to date is being targetted to the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors.
We in the healthcare sector, that includes physiotherapists, dentists, vets etc, who are not able to claim certain grants and benefits are being overlooked because our business rates are affected by our rateable value.
We appreciate that this a hard time for many businesses and individuals but some of us will have no financial assistance at all. Help us be noticed and make this fair for all.
Make our government look at the area of Healthcare don't let us be completely overlooked.
