30%-40% of public money given to England's care homes vanishes in profits, little left for frontline services. Almost all care homes forcibly closed between 2011 and 2023 were operated by for-profit companies. Profits and care can't be combined. Watch the Minister's reply.

Always, always ask about overnight and weekend staffing levels, then do the maths, then ask the questions. And yes, meds rounds CAN/do take hours: *where is the cover for that?* How are pts effectively and safely even supported to move or be made comfortable with one person?

1.5m people provide 50+ hours of unpaid care each week, without which our health & care systems would collapse. The next Government must invest in social care so everyone can access the support they need. Sign our open letter ahead of the #GeneralElection go.carersuk.org/446hgcr?utm_so…
