Should care services be free?

Hello

You may have read here, some time ago, that I had written to my local MP, with regards to care services and having to pay for them.

I have had a letter back to say, that once accessed, for the first 6 weeks, you can have care services for free, but if you need to continue to have care services after that 6 weeks, then you can either be means tested for a continuation of the services, or they can give you information on charities, that can help for free, so a step in the right direction.

Of course, we have also had the queens speech this week, and the more severe amongst us, can have ongoing care for free, as long as it is put through parliament, before the next election, if Gordon Brown doesn’t succeed you may have to wait a little longer depending on who gets the vote!

So vote Gordon Brown, if you are in that category at the next election.
