A few years ago 'Care in the Community' was supposed to be THE thing. Trouble is that the funding was not forth coming to pay for it. The elderly have been left isolated because Meals on wheels and home helps have been discontinued. The so called help now is a ten minute call if you re lucky. Patients would rather be in their own home but without the back up they cannot manage. If the overseas aid were redirected to the NHS it would be a start. It would certainly do more good than funding a girl band somewhere in Africa.
