Agree, Reform do not support a publicly funded, delivered and accountable NHS or the same for a national care support and independent living service.
Reasons why 50+ voters should stop voting Reform Ltd
- huge medical bill for older people who get sick more often
- we'll need carers, migrants Reform won't let in
- Reform Ltd run Nottinghamshire CC increasing charges for adult care
- means tested state pensions
