These workers, who play a crucial role in helping individuals regain independence after hospital stays, fear the move could lead to worsened pay and conditions. Despite reassurances from Gloucestershire County Council that transferred staff will maintain their current contractual terms, employees remain apprehensive. Council leaders argue the new community reablement service will extend support to more residents—not just those leaving hospital—enhancing overall care provision.
