Independent Living, Social Care and Health

We have drafted a template letter for people who employ their own personal assistants and have problems obtaining personal protective equipment (PPE) from their local authority

Here we summarise the main changes introduced by the Coronavirus Act in the areas of social care and continuing healthcare
