Proud to be launching the #SectorPulseCheck report today at Westminster with @Hftonline and @CareEngland - alarming that 39% of providers have considered exiting the market entirely this year. Adult social care needs a fundamental change.

[Tom Pursglove @VotePursglove]

Yesterday, I attended the #VoicesForOurFuture @HftOnline event. I discussed with Rachael about the impact of negative attitudes towards people with learning disabilities and how we can work together to campaign for change so disabled people can live their best lives possible.

The #SocialCare sector cannot wait any longer for the vital funding it desperately needs. 😟

That's why we have signed this letter alongside @Hftonline and over 20 others. ✍

People with a #LearningDisability need the government to act now. 💷

Read the letter here. 👇

[Hft @Hftonline]

New independent research finds that 3/4 of #LearningDisability care providers turned down new admissions to services in 2021, while more than 1/3 had to close their services permanently due to an average vacancy rate of nearly 16%. https://t.co/go4UZtVW3T #SectorPulseCheck
