I have just read a report in the Telegraph and once more I am dismayed at the way things in this country are going. A man who has multiple sclerosis has been told he must pay £147 per month for evening care. By staying in his own home this man must be saving this country thousands of pounds but now he is to be penalised by being asked to pay for the little care he does get. As a former prison officer he comments that prisoners get better care than he is receiving. In my opinion this is nothing less than scandalous and I hope the decision is reversed. Where are we headed when prisoners are getting better treatment than terminally ill people?
