Call for a Public Inquiry into the number of deaths in Care Homes

Petition Details

A Public Inquiry into the policy surrounding support for people living and working in care homes, specifically the lack of PPE and testing available for people living in care homes and the apparent focus on protecting acute hospitals at the expense of people living & working in community settings

Additional Information

This pandemic has highlighted an urgent need for the country to recognise the vital role that Adult Social Care provides in supporting people with long term needs. The focus of this pandemic has been on protecting the NHS, but at the start of the pandemic it appears clear that none of the policy and planning focussed on how best to support those living and working in care homes. On behalf of the people who have died, it is essential we ensure this is not allowed to happen again.
