Gloucestershire Liberal Democrats have published their manifesto for the county council elections, featuring ‘six to fix’. Top of the list is to ‘end the poor one-star service and deliver first class personal care for the elderly and disabled.

In more detail –
* A Liberal Democrat run council will secure a high standard of care for elderly and disabled people in the county. We will implement the 21 recommendations of the Commission for Social Care Inspection. We will deliver a three-star service.
* Care charges for elderly people will not rise above inflation. (This is also the sixth in the ‘to fix’ list.)
* Quality care and support will be provided so that people can stay in their own homes.
* A Liberal Democrat run council will provide support for carers. Extra support services will be developed to support elderly people who take on the role of carer.
