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!!!!

The people you mentioned as an example don't know how, or if, their current situation will change, mainly because no details have been given in this green paper.
...and I'm sorry to say that yes I do think it's selfish. They have eventually managed to access the right care for their nearest and dearest, no one is suggesting that will be somehow magically taken away, but why should they try and stop those newly in need of having access to help, via this newly created one stop organisation, which will make things one hell of a lot easier?
