Repeal the International Development Act 2015.
Provide funding for the Care and Social Services sector by allocating part of the £15 billion Foreign Aid given annually. The first step must be to Repeal the International Development (Official Development Assistance Target) Act 2015.
Care homes and Social Services are a deprived sector of society. It is critically important that significant funds are made available to remedy this injustice.
The UN’s target for 'Foreign Aid' for all developed countries is 0.7% of GNP. Currently for the U.K. this is £14 billion a year.
The Department for International Development (DFID) is charged with allocating the £14. Since there is no way DFID can allocate this amount of money to U.K. driven projects; 40% (£6 billion) is passed to trilateral bodies (e.g. EU, UN) for them to disburse.
This must stop: and with the focus now on our Care Homes, this £6 billion must be allocated to this deprived sector of our society.
