No to West Berks Tory care cuts
Today I launched a massive campaign to increase care for the elderly in West Berkshire where care is significantly different from the care in Reading.
This is a postcode lottery. It shouldn’t be that just because you live in West Berkshire you get much worse care than if you live in Reading.
Caring and working with the less well off is one of the things that motivated me to get into politics, it’s one of the things that drives me. We must be successful at winning this campaign and getting the Tories on the West Berkshire council to change their mind.
At the moment Tory West Berkshire Council has changed it’s policy to say being with in the critical category doesn’t automatically entitile you to care. Reading Council currently helps 2,800 people who if they lived in West Berkshire wouldn’t be entitled to help.
