Response to ENIC dismissal by House of Commons

As a member of the Care Association Alliance we are deeply disappointed by the actions of Labour MPs in the House of Commons yesterday (19 ^th March).

A Liberal Democrat amendment to exempt health and care providers from a rise in National insurance Contributions was defeated by 307 votes to 182.

As a result, on 6th April hard-pressed social care providers will be hit with increased bills they can’t afford.

Spring Conference: Meet our Exhibitors!

We are now looking forward to our Spring Providers Conference on Thursday 27th March where will be addressing the theme of the CQC's New Environmental Sustainability Assessment.

We have some great speakers lined up and this event has now sold out (but you can book on to the waiting list here )

In the meantime, we wanted to introduce you to the many Exhibitors who will be taking part in the event and encourage you to speak to them to find out more about how they can support you with your service.
