What we want

Age Concern and Help the Aged is strongly pushing the Government to improve the care and support system as quickly as possible.

While we are happy that the Government has published a Green Paper describing its ideas to improve the care system‚ we know that some improvements just can’t wait and need to be made right now.

The improvements we want to see right now will cost money and so Age Concern and Help the Aged want the Government to spend £1-2 billion immediately.

We want to see:

  1. An end to unfair charging
  2. Improvements to hospital discharge
  3. Improvements to home care
  4. More care for more people
  5. Improvements to care homes
