I think the issue of care for the elderly and disabled in our community is going to be a "hot potato " topic in 2012.
There needs to be a big reform of how families can be helped and with issues being in the news again today hopefully this is on the horizon.
I have today looked on the BBC news web page and was struck by this comment left by a reader :-
"We need a radical re-think of how we, as a state, we meet our duty of
care to those citizens in need of support. We have many experts who know
how to deliver quality social care & support to those unable
(through age or disability) to look after themselves. Politicians should
take a back seat in the decision about how it's done, their job is to
administer our money to pay for it."
I think this comment will strike a cord with many readers,I for one will be watching the news with interest !!
