Unwell, unsafe, and unfed – 4,000 people needing care reveal a shocking picture of neglect in our care system A survey by the Care and Support Alliance (CSA), of nearly 4,000 people who need care or look after someone who does reveals the damning reality of a care system that is visibly failing and unfit for purpose.
