How is that helping the community? Perhaps you could have made a difference? Plaid councils have hike the council tax up just as much. What's your comment on this? Only knock Labour as knocking the real culprits is not politically expedient.

Councillor Devichand is extremely hard working, dedicated and has worked hard and has achieved a great deal for the community. What has been said here about her is quite defamatory. It seems to me that the only thing achieved by Plaid is a tremendous amount of complaining and procrastination. What have they actually achieved apart from abstaining and pulling political stunts at the last minute? It seems to me they should start having a much more mature attitude and remember they are elected to serve the community and consider some consensual politics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-77127134625937229992015-03-26T08:30:30.603+00:002015-03-26T08:30:30.603+00:00You are, of course, quite right Redhead.

The Health Board are making attempts to get discussion going on the integration of health and social care services but the local authority depends so heavily now on various out-sourced services it will be a mammoth task to get all these parties round a table. As some one who employs care workers via the Direct Payments scheme, whenever we advertise a vacancy there are always several applications from tired, upset and disillusioned workers from the private sector. Often they do not mind the low pay but the shifts organisation, travel, lack of compassion and mismatching of workers to clients and worst of all complete disregard for their feedback crushes their commitment. Many of these minimally trained (half a day, one day shadowing) staff are thrown in at the deep end and give up within weeks. Thus staff turnover is massive and the lack of continuity has a stressful and negative impact on the very people who already have difficult and lonely lives. The regulation of these 'businesses' should be much more robust, and whistleblowers supported.<br /> m1booksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-73062040624332849202015-03-25T08:47:02.363+00:002015-03-25T08:47:02.363+00:00Reading this before breakfast made me very angry, ...Reading this before breakfast made me very angry, raised my blood pressure and gave me severe indigestion. Although at some level of consciousness we know about this travesty, seeing the facts and figures in black and white brings this appalling state of affairs home with a shocking thump. <br />What sort of world are we living in when this situation can arise - and, worse, is condoned by Labour councillors and pseudo-Christians?Blodwennoreply@blogger.com
