More care for some!
• MY neighbour, who is elderly, infirm and housebound, has recently been assessed and, along with other unfortunates whose plight has featured in your columns, been deprived of her social care.
This means that she must use her own resources to arrange for her cleaning, laundry and shopping to be done and to pay for these services out of her meagre pension.
Concurrently my family has been required to attend family conference sessions by Safeguarding and Social Services.
These were catered for to a high standard despite both sessions taking place in the afternoon. Delicious, top-of-the-market sandwiches and wraps, an array of fresh fruit, fresh fruit juice and high quality biscuits and cakes were served, as well as tea and coffee.
I cannot square these two scenarios, which are both under the aegis of the same department of Camden Council.
What are the priorities of this department which leave elderly citizens to struggle while heaping bounty unnecessarily on others?
