We support #ProvidersUnite campaign

Community Integrated Care is proud to join over 120 care providers across the UK, supporting the #ProvidersUnite campaign, uniting adult care service providers across the country to advocate for change and safeguard the future of social care.

In a joint letter to the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, #ProvidersUnite urgently calls for an immediate review of the impact of the Autumn Budget on social care, and for the establishment of exemptions similar to those granted to the NHS or adjustments to Local Government Finance, to bridge the funding gap.

The letter also outlines key asks of the government, including:

• An urgent commitment to mitigate the Budget’s damaging impact on specialist care services for people with learning disabilities, and autistic people.
• A cross-party collaboration to outline clear, actionable, sustainable plans for the future of the sector.
• Combined, the coalition of specialist care organisations:
• Support 55,000 people
• Employ 130,000 skilled care workers
• Operate 7,000 publicly funded care homes
• Represent both private and publicly funded services and large and small providers

The letter has also been shared with Darren Jones MP, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Wes Streeting MP, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Stephen Kinnock MP, Minister of State for Care, and Angela Rayner MP, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government.
