You are absolutely right Kelly. Penalising workers if they go a tad over providing 15 minutes of home care, seeing nothing wrong in putting people to bed in the early afternoon with incontinence pads, deducting pay for “providing” uniforms workers have to buy from the company, no sick pay, no travel allowance, spurious “fees” for often not delivered training are all evidence of how wrong I am. My apologies. You are also spot on about ADASS, they are indeed not “left wing”.

Unrealistic view. ADASS isn’t some leftwing student debating group. Its members live in the real world and have to comply with the law. Councils rarely delivered good care services. What you decry as business delivers person centered care more than it fails to. I am also dubious about the conclusions of this survey. It would be interesting to know the methodology. In my experience racist, cynical and profit driven people don’t set up care services. I think ADASS recognises that too.
