Regular
reports on the growing Poverty, Unemployment, Debt and Inequality of
the neo-capitalist world
UK:
“A
newly-published study suggests that more than one million elderly
people in the UK are malnourished.”
“According
to the research by British Association for Parenteral and Enteral
Nutrition, a third of all UK councils have scrapped ‘meals on
wheels’ services to their elderly and vulnerable residents due to
government spending cuts, putting senior citizens at risk of
malnutrition and social isolation.”
“Half
of all local authorities in the UK expect even further service
reductions in the year ahead because social care budgets are being
tightened and funding is being slashed, according to the National
Association of Care Catering.”
“... the Local Government Association (LGA) slammed multi-billion pound government cuts to council budgets, arguing current social care system was 'not fit for the 21st century.'”
