Is this proof that the UK Government is insane.
Just read this story in the paper:
Thousands of patients to get personalised NHS budgets
Who would suggest that people with learning difficulties, or those with dementia, alzheimers, or other mental health issues could manage a budget for their own healthcare. Is the UK Government - I'm not pointing fingers at Jeremy Hunt or Simon Stevens! - asking people who are frail to choose which is the best NHS treatment for them, and then arrange to pay the bills out of the budget that they have been allocated by the "Government" to cover those costs.
Is the Government going to offer training to carers or parents? Or is it just going to be an opportunity for the "third parties" to make revenue out of offering services and advice - for a fee - to the people in society who may not be best placed to manage those budgets.
Sorry about the rant, but this just strikes me as yet another example of Hunt & Co absolving themselves of responsibility and not doing the work for which we all pay them a handsome salary.
I am not a nasty person but ……
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
