Thank you @DavidJ_Brindle for shining a light on this defining issue. Why @MattHancock has this taken so long? Please extend immediately for people receiving support but living in their own home. The fear and stress caused by this discrimination will be with us for a long time.

How to own an interview, by @KGerlich777 and how to alienate 1.6m people in the care sector, by the government
Prime Minister's article in the Mail on Sunday: 17 May 2020 - GOV.UK Despite all your hard work @colintwangel @drjanetownson it’s disheartening to see that #Homecare doesn’t even get a mention. gov.uk/government/speeches/p…

Only 2pc of community providers can use government PPE website. Only 2 #homecare providers out of 10,500 registered services in England have so far got an account as part of the pilot. Roll-out is c. 3-4 weeks off. @ukhca @HSJnews hsj.co.uk/coronavirus/only-2…

Testing still not reaching care workers despite the promises - vital to get this right if those who need care at home or in care homes are to get the protection they need - Survey: Only 22% of Social Care Workers able to access testing nationalcareforum.org.uk/ncf…
Thank you @colintwangel this is such a huge issue for Homecare providers, without doubt it needs to be brought to the attention of the 'powers that be'. Appreciate all you are doing to support our sector!
UKHCA's Policy Director @colintwangel was on @BBCBreakfast this morning, helping to raise awareness of the issues that face the #homecare sector including PPE and funding:

Thanks very much. The levels of stress that PPE availability has created for providers and our workforce, and the rocketing prices experienced, have such an impact, as you’ll know really well.

VAT on PPE removed for a 3-month period. Applies to everyone purchasing PPE, including homecare providers, care homes, PAs, family carers, charities, businesses. Great to have some good news - will help. Many thanks @hmtreasury @RishiSunak @Helen_Whately

'Our fear is that the third scene in this unfolding tragedy will be in people's own homes.'
After figures revealed nearly 4,000 people had died in care homes in just two weeks, @drjanetownson says the next big crisis could come in people's own homes.

We are blown away by the kind, thoughtful gestures our staff continue to make during these difficult times. This amazing cake was made by one of our carers Ros Justo for her client’s 90th birthday (in his working life was a renowned expert in tomatoes) 💗#qualitycare @gilwicks
Thank you @AlisonHoltBBC for highlighting the significant #COVID19 issues faced by Homecare on #bbcnews tonight. Thanks also to @ukhca @drjanetownson @colintwangel - your tireless hard work and efforts to raise our profile seems to have paid off!
