Lizzie Cornish is not her real name - anymore than I was christened folkiedave. And its her (ex) mother-in-law who is having the problem, she could be anywhere.

As far as I can see Torbay Care Trust works this as a joint enterprise, social services/health service.

As for them not having any money, nonsense. Is the Chief Executive getting paid? Then they have money, they have just chosen to spend it somewhere else.

One of the problems is that I am not sure Mudcat is the best place to be discussing this. Two reasons.

There are other places (forums or to be pedantic fora) that deal with this far better. They often have lay people that have developed strategies for dealing with what I suspect are common problems.

The second is that Lizzie (IMHO) does have previous as far as rants are concerned and sometimes her version of the truth is not always to be believed. Thus people - frankly including me - are wary of what she posts.

I am not going into the whys or wherefores of this particular one. We may get both sides of the story if Radio Devon follow it through. In fact they may have done so by now.

I look forward to hearing some feedback.
