My mother is currently in hospital, awaiting a nursing home placement. The
consultant has advised social services that mum would not be safe at home,
even with 3 carers a day. Social services seem to be a law unto
themselves...........they dictate......mum CANNOT go home.......NO CHOICE.
I disagree with their findings, after all, I know my mum better than they
do, but I (we) seem helpless. Fundamental human rights........bo**ocks!!

I am very sorry to hear that, Pete. Might I suggest you ask in uk.legal
about this. There are some good people in there who know their stuff, just
be sure to ignore the nuts like you get in most groups. Richard Miller
especially, as he is a solicitor, and Todal.
