I think we all need to contribute to the cost of social care in a fair and proportionate manner.

You are reasonable because why should landlords pay for social care? Also why should people on big occupational pensions to pay more for social care? People tend to have bigger pensions because they’re either contributing a lot of their salary or they worked damn hard to get a good job.

The government needs to take a different approach to this because Scotland get this for free but England pay for it.

i think care homes are raking in something like £300 million a year Profit so the government should be thinking about setting Up council care homes and putting everyone where the government have got to pay for care in these rather than paying massive sums of money to private care homes who are just raking the money in. Most importantly these care homes where people are paying tens of thousands a month are paying those who actually hands in deliver the care absolutely pittances.
