Brent Fightback is calling a
protest at the Civic Centre on the coming Monday (16th September) from 6.30 to
protest at the proposal that Brent Council hand over the delivery of the meals
on wheels service to “a range of local charities, communities and
businesses”.
Currently, the meals on wheels service is outsourced. However, rather than
a proposal which would cut out the profit-makers, this proposal is purely about
cutting cost (by 50%). This decision will lead to cuts in quality of the meals,
and pay (are the charities/community groups using unpaid volunteers?), the
council's own risk assessment evaluates "Lack of market capacity leads to
service users going without meals" = High!
ie. most vulnerable, elderly and sick could be left without access to
meals!
