Union members at Bupa have been taking action across the country in response to proposals from Bupa to restructure 17 of its 40 care homes. Caregivers, residents, family and community members are deeply concerned on the impact this will have on residents and health workers.

As one caregiver has said, “This restructure will have a big impact on our residents. We will still be expected to do the same amount of work. But a smaller number of staff will have to carry that load. Caregivers can only do so much during the day."
