An unvaccinated family carer who lost her funding to care for her own son said the mandates “felt like a gun to my head”.
She is one of five affected people who took their case to the High Court, challenging the mandates which meant they could not receive caregiver funding without being vaccinated against Covid-19.
[…] Another caregiver, Jude Bignell, said their funding was cut and they were “threatened with a hefty fine” for providing the intensive care their son required.
[…] “We call for the Prime Minister to apologise to the hundreds of care and support workers who had vital financial support unlawfully withheld from them,” said lawyer Matthew Hague, director Frontline Law, the law firm representing the applicants.
