The "elderly" were the least affected demograpgic in the downturn so instant fail there for a start
Yeah. Tell it to the elderly getting reduced home care packages and feeling isolated because of the cuts to the home telephone allowance. Tell it to the carers who now have thirty minutes to get that elderly person up,washed and fed instead of the reasonable hour they once had.
Tell it to the disabled people now waiting a lot longer for physio, psychologists, OT's etc.
The problem is a lot of people don't see the actual cost of these cuts.
