BBC 'Inside the Care Crisis' with Ed Balls

[Citizen Carer Smith]

If anyone is any doubt about what caring for dementia sufferers is about, I suggest you watch the BBCs, eye wateringly informative 2 parter, 'Inside the Care Crisis' with Ed Balls.
Not easy viewing but essential to understanding the discrepancies between many faceted levels of NHS and Social care funding and the chaotically disorganised approach this government, and society has taken to date whilst highlighting the reality of the people that actually do the work and the emotional and physical strain that takes.
One of the best documentaries I have seen that uncover the reality of the situation with the clarity that is sadly lacking within the current system.
