An intruder threatened them with a machete and demanded money
Care workers have staged a protest in Sleaford over cuts being made to home care services in Lincolnshire.
Workers say they are not only scared of what it will mean for their jobs, but also the patients they look after.Leading the demonstration was Jacob Ford, Manager at Lincolnshire Hope Care. “They are still threatening to push through this contract, take away our jobs, our livelihoods and our clients.” Paddie Brocklesby, Manager of Honey Home Care said: “The general consensus from these people is if they don’t swap to the care provider they wish them to, then they won’t have any care. They are not being given a choice.
“Prior to the procurement the ICB had largely spot purchased care from a large number of providers and the procurement envisaged reducing this number by selecting a provider for each of seven geographic zones in Lincolnshire. Following evaluation of received tenders contracts have now been awarded.
