Charity forced to evict severely disabled people from care homes due to lack of funding

The Leonard Cheshire charity says that due to the continuously rising costs of care, it can no longer afford to support the 3000 people it currently subsidises.

The charity which provides various care homes across the UK has claimed that local authorities are simply not prepared to meet rising costs as council budgets are now at “breaking point”.
