7,500 SIGNATURES NEEDED

Today we have gone live with the petition to save Derbyshire’s Care Homes from sale or closure.

https://apps.derbyshire.gov.uk/applications/petitions/details.asp?PetitionID=354

At first it was feared that this was of the 7 care homes that need physical work and maintenance - but upon reading the report it is clear that this is just the start.

The very start of the document clearly and deliberately compares Derbyshire with authorities who run very few or even no care homes, with authorities that have sold or closed all the local authority care homes.

There is NO comparison with similar authorities who have similar numbers of care homes such as Cumbria, Hampshire or Lancashire. Instead there is a clear direction of  travel toward none.

So please, if you support Derbyshire County Council being a provider of Direct Care Homes for Older People then please sign the petition and encourage others to do so.
