YOUR lead article on Friday ( Care home residents ‘left tied to long-term contracts’’ , The Herald, March 12) should be a wake-up call for us all living in a country with an ageing population. How can this be? Who is asking for those contracts, under what conditions are they being offered? Surely there is an ethical and moral question to such contracts and where does social services fit in? Your article rightly pointed out the recently published review into adult social care in Scotland, undertaken by Derek Feeley. This was an urgently-needed review and the Scottish Government has given a commitment to endorse the review in full. Indeed, only last month it brought forward legislation to establish a new National Care Service in line with NHS services in Scotland. Health Secretary Jeane Freeman emphasised that we must accord adult social care the same values as our NHS.
Powys Council is to write to Chancellor Rishi Sunak calling on him to increase the Carers Allowance by £20 per week. A motion put forward by Liberal Democrat, Cllr Jackie Charlton to “stand up for carers” was approved at a full council meeting on Thursday, March 4. Cllr Charlton, (Llangattock) said: “It demonstrates how much we value carers. “At the end of 2019 in Powys there were approximately 2,627 carers entitled to Carers Allowance, 1,563 received the allowance.” This means that 1,064 Powys residents don’t claim the £67.25 weekly allowance. Cllr Charlton explained that unpaid carers save the Welsh Government at least £8 billion per year when comparing the hours they work, and how much paid carers could earn in the same time frame.
