She praised the support Anheddau has provided for her son and the positive impact it has had on his quality of life. Mario Kreft MBE, chair of Care Forum Wales, said Anheddau’s situation highlights wider problems in the social care sector. Mr Kreft said: "Worryingly, Anheddau’s plight is far from unique because the very same issues are affecting all independent social care providers in Wales. "The 37 per cent increase in the cost of National Insurance employers’ contribution is hitting social care particularly hard. "As a policy it’s counterintuitive and doesn’t make any sense because it’s hitting social care particularly hard and when social care sneezes the NHS catches a cold.
