(Estimated Final Signatures: 178 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
I propose that all care services should be VAT exempt for all disabled people, regardless of provider and without the need for a care plan written by a doctor or social worker. A simple declaration, as is the case for equipment, should suffice.
