If you have read this blog, or the ADKC Newsflash, you will have seen that there is not going to be any increase in PBs this April but at the same time there are increases in agency fees and National Insurance for Employers- meaning that some people won't be able to afford the care they are currently getting / will have to change agencies etc. This will take away people's choice and control!
The ADKC exective committee has agreed that we should campaign against this! We need your ideas on how we should go about this (petitions, protests, even sit-ins - the choice is yours!), who to deal with (council offices, local Councillors, MPs, the media?) and what tack to take.
If you are interested in being part of a campaign group please let us know - contact Jenny at pbsupport@adkc.org.uk or on 020 8960 8888. The more people we can get the better!
