ON WEDNESDAY night (Nov 30th) the portfolio holder for adult social care, cllr Sue Little (Cons) gave her annual presentation on the state of her remit over the past year.
Whilst cllr Little gave an earnest and enthusiastic presentation, the UKIP and Labour opposition did not see things in quite the same light.
Her opposite number, cllr Barbara Rice saw the report as confirming that there is a “crisis in adult social care”.
When cllr Little pleaded that she was “just a lowly councillor” the opposition benches reminded her that she was the person in charge being paid an allowance in excess of £20,000 a year.
The ideological battle appears to be that the Thurrock Conservatives want to see more done with less as they plough forward with cutting back on public spending but the opposition want to throw on the real human cost to this plan.
The full debate can be seen below.
why not put them all on a ferry off of grays beach.
Adult, children any kind of care, they have some caring individuals, even they have their frustrations, how can you run a caring service with accountants, the most needed are not supported fairly, you can be made plenty of offers, if you get the support good luck, promises are made and broken, need to sort them at court they will not budge until directed by a judge, then never having info ready for court dates, judges critical of the way they present and handle cases, (example of recent fine in misrepresented S20) a high turnover of staff, many with no real information on the cases they are concerned with but willing to make decisions on our behalf, ridiculous!
IN CRISIS !!!!!!!
Anyone who sees it differently answers on a post card please.
