Well said Julia. I started out in home care in 1987 and finished as a commissioner a few decades later.
The best and most skillful thing I ever did was to bath and shave an ex-service man and war veteran who didn’t know who I was from one minute to the next.
The next best thing was to challenge the ridiculous idea that procure procedures and contracting could ever specify the needs of vulnerable people.
If truth were told most of the contracting and procurement for domiciliary care is unenforceable ie null and void.
And, if another truth were told the outsourcing of home care was to avoid the liabilities of increased pay and settlement because of historic sex discrimination.
