No one should be dying for a social care decision

IT IS a national scandal that more than 6,000 people have died waiting for a care decision.

- 

These were people who asked for help when they needed it most but were forced to wait so long for an answer that they passed away before it came.

The shocking state of our social care service leaves millions of adults unable to live their lives to the fullest.

It also places a huge burden on their family members who pick up the slack as unpaid carers.
