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.

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…

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.

A stark warning of the risks for people from financial failure of #homecare providers as public funding and supplies aren’t reaching the front line. Read more: bit.ly/Guardian1704020 @byameliahill in @guardian.

This is what we mean @Helen_Whately - government defining care as “low-skilled”. We need to change understanding of the skills required and expectations of careworkers - now being delegated to by health professionals in #covid19
I simply cannot believe the insensitivity of the Home Office today re-issuing their advice on a new #immigration system in which #carers are low-skilled! Many are at the frontline in a #pandemic. Shame on you. @scottishcare gov.uk/guidance/new-immigrat…

Many #SocialCare providers are worried they are not going to make their April payroll. If emergency funding does not reach front-line there are going to be significant insolvencies, says @drjanetownson of @ukhca. independent.co.uk/news/healt…

As we get older our body becomes less efficient at regulating our temperature. During the #Heatwave2018, please take a moment to check on older relatives and neighbours to make sure they have everything they need. If you need any advice, visit our website: bit.ly/2qH4CiO
