UNISON demanded properly funded increases for adult social care and the NHS today as delegates at the union’s annual conference blasted the Tories for failing to “care about care.”

Moving the motion on behalf of the national executive Jordan Rivera said the Conservative government’s record on care was one of “shame where thousands are forced to go without the care that they deserve.”

She added that care workers continued to be treated with contempt, with “many continuing to have to survive on zero-hour contracts.”
