Cllr Rob James, Carmarthenshire Labour Leader stated “I am pleased to see that the local authority has stepped in to support Glyn Nest who are experiencing issues currently.
“We have known for some time that independent care homes across Carmarthenshire have been vulnerable during the pandemic, with some struggling to ensure that they had enough staff to provide the support needed.
“For a number of years, Carmarthenshire Labour have been calling for a recruitment drive to increase the number of care workers internally and create an in-house bank system to ensure that we are not over reliant on agency companies. It is essential that going forward the local authority increase their capacity to support other homes that may experience issues in the future.”
