City of Culture gets no bouquets for its care of elderly patients
You can have fireworks, art, music and song, but care for the elderly is not included and does not follow all the celebrations.
My sister, a widow in her 80s, with no family, recently returned home on two crutches after orthopaedic surgery. In her first week at home, no medical person called to check if she was alright and could cope. This treatment by the local health service is disgraceful to a woman who has worked all her life and paid her taxes. She also paid for her operation through her health insurance.
