I could get seriously rich by persuading somebody to give me a pound for each time I suggest that the solution to most of our problems is to have our Masters spend just one week reading the threads on TP. That would give them a badly needed reality check.
He highlighted work done by Leeds city council, which has encouraged residents, including the elderly, to “self-manage” health conditions
I would invite this Lib Dem Minister to come and assess my mother and her ability to self manage any aspect of her life, from taking tablets (which she will not) to changing her own incontinence pads and a million other things. I would also like him to persuade her to eat. Unless he pinned her down, he would not be able to get a morsle of food into her.
All his policy will do is fill up hospital beds with permanent, chronic mental and physical illness which needs 24/7 management.
He has never lived with the hourly worry which most of us here on TP have to do!
I only wish we could all, each and every one of us take the time to write to him and give him an accounty of daily living with dementia and complex health problems.
Shall we all do it?

"I've already sent my opinion to Mr Lamb.I came back to show you a copy of what I've sent. I'm so cross I don't think that it is very grammatically correct or well composed."
Well done! I thought it very well composed, Your anger shows in every line, while still restrained. If only I thought he'd read it.
Bravo!
Not in this position yet but certainly got me fuming.
Well done, I thought your reply was to the point, heart-felt & (hopefully) effective.
Look forward to hearing his response!
