Due to my and disability, I am considering keeping separate winter
pots (eg for daffs) and different pots for a whole host of summer
bedding. I plan on leaving the daffs to die off in their pots during
the summer months. Would this be OK?

Put everything in one pot so they flower through the year and then you won't
have to move the pots at all. The stuff which is coming up will help hide
the foliage of the things that are dying down. You could have a few siberian
iris then daffodil then tulip then gladioli and have the whole lot growing
up through low greenery such as variegated ivies to give a bit of
all-year-round interest.

I'm not sure why separate pots would be easier for you unless you're
planning on leaving the 'dead' pots next to the 'live' ones.

I tend to disagree here. Bulbs dying down look so dismal - especially in pots !

I'm assuming that Pat has someone to move the pots around ?

I have masses of bulbs in pots, which I hide away behind the dustbins during
summer. They get an occasional watering if its very dry but no other special
treatment. I used to take them up, dry them of and repot, but leaving them in
situ works just as well :~))
