CARE IN THE COMMUNITY

They call it Protecting Front Line Services!

Sandwell Labour have found a new way to protect frontline services in our borough, by looking at closing a home for respite care.

The main problem with this latest casualty with Labour’s cuts, centres around the Warstone Centre, this specialist care facility gives respite care for individuals with serious medical and physical issues who have very aged parents as their carers.

Some parent/carers are 70 to 90 years old and still looking after their children , who they love to bits.

Sandwell Tory said

Words totally fail me, they have now put Warstone up for a consultation programme.
It reminds me of a letter sent to the Councils leader from Eric Pickles stating that
"Front line services  MUST BE PROTECTED”

We have increased the funding for respite care from £178 Million to £200Million across the country so where’s the money going, I expect they will try to blame it on the Coalition.
