Health and social care committee tomorrow has thrown up yet again the gap between words and action of the SNP/Libdems. At the August council meeting I proposed that we stop all tendering of services for the vulnerable until all those involved have been asked how they would like to approach making changes to their service. I was rebuffed by those who claimed that this was not necessary.
Now I see that one of the 6 priorities of the joint Physical and Complex disability strategy is "personalised budgets which empower people through person centred approaches and which offer choice and flexibility". Fine words but the reality for most vulnerable people who receive services not provided by the Council is that their service provider will be change whether or not they have a person centred approach or have been empowered or anything else that you can think of. It is hypocrisy of the highest order.
Wishing Everyone a Happy Christmas
