One centralised care body, rather than the myriad of different organisation, and totally separate applications we currently have, will be benefical to those most in need.
Please stop repeating that this will all be run by the present Social Service department. Nowhere in this green paper is that stated.
That is all irrational supposition.

Sorry if you feel that way G but they have fought long and hard to get things into place so why should they want it taken away from them now? I know one lady in her sixties who was carer for both her daughter and her mother for a very long time. There was not a minute of the day she could call her own. Now she has just got proper care in place for her daughter and her mother unfortunately is in a home. Do you really think that after years of doing this she is being selfish? I certainly don't.
To my mind what we need are health care proffessionals who know what benefits are available and who then pass the information on to patients!!!!
