[Margaret Pilkington]

My Mum is bad on her legs, and we, the family have tried numerous times to get her to move somewhere that would be easier for her......but she refuses point blank. All her memories are in her house... She may be physically frail but she is as sharp as a pin......she wants to live out her life in her own way, doing what she wants when she wants. Who are we to compromise the dignity of our old people...just because they are old.
I would ask the science minister if that is what he wants for his parents...and I bet you any money he will say no...he probably has the money to have his folks cared for professionally.
