My only gripe with this story is the length of time it's taken to surface. It would have had more impact at the time. Only reason I can see that it's come out this week is due to a by-election tomorrow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I have no intention of frightening people but do have some experience of mental health provision, and I can assure you it is not good. When they closed the old asylums for community care the intentions were good but the community care wasn't. With all the cuts it has got worse and worse ever since. Half the homeless people on the streets are the evidence of that: unable to cope but unable to get the help they need. The sad thing is they are too ill to help themselves or to access the care they need as it requires enormous determination and stamina to fight for it, stamina which they don't have.

The sad thing is they are too ill to help themselves or to access the care they need as it requires enormous determination and stamina to fight for it, stamina which they don't have. Not sure the intentions went much beyond the phrase "Care In The Community" - when many Middlewood wards were closed in the mid/late 80's, community care consisted of giving people their wordly belongings in a carrier bag and their bus fare into the city centre with directions to the homeless hostels on Gell Street and Upper Hanover Street. Similar to the "Patients First" initiative in the NHS at the same time - which was all about a new management structure with armies of accountants. / history lesson about caring Tory governments.
