Verbatim
“We have a responsibility to take the voice of our social care members to the heart of the Welsh government.”
“private equity, hedge funds and large corporations see care in Wales as a cash cow, squeezing millions of pounds from public finances, much of which is spirited away into tax havens.”
“Removing profit from social care would make a big difference.”
