The quality of care homes in Wirral has been branded a “mess” as statistics show it is the worst in the North West for good quality beds.
The problems in the care sector were highlighted in a recent report that showed no care homes in Wirral have been rated outstanding and there are twice as many requiring improvement compared to neighbouring Sefton and Liverpool.
At a Wirral Council meeting, councillors were critical of a lack of progress in providing better care for elderly and vulnerable adults but officers defended their approach saying that progress was being made before the Covid 19 pandemic.
