Consultation on terms of reference for inquiry into residential care for older people
RC1 ToR – UNISON Wales
Mark Drakeford AM
Chair, Health & Social Care Committee
Dear Mark,
In response to your request for comments on the draft Terms of Reference for the above enquiry, UNISON welcomes this timely inquiry into residential care for the elderly and broadly supports the draft terms of reference.
However, UNISON believes that the enquiry should also include in its Terms of Reference:
to explore how we can avoid another Southern Cross type incident occurring by consider the feasibility of risk assessing all future proposed transfers of public services provision to the for profit sector.
I look forward to hearing of the progress of this hopefully valuable inquiry.
Regards,
Dominic
