Care In The Community – Needs More Care - If They Have Dementia!

Another meeting this time with the Social Services to obtain this elusive funding the government has ring fenced, l say ring fenced l suppose l should say corralled. So to qualify for this so-called CHC the person has to be at deaths door!

Now this person is 90 years old, has more wrong with her than any person ever should have, the words back from these Social Workers ,sorry proper title "Adult Social Care Providers " was
"We need to fill in a questionnaire and if you score more A's than B's and get at least 5 of B's and 3 A's then she may qualify"

This is so-called "Care In The Community" spoken and not applied, there is a need to add the word compassion, that is a word that needs showing, not saying ,writing or even promising!

So Adult Social Care provider adds up the A's, B's and says you can go to the next stage - submission of the questionnaire. Within 2 days l get a phone call saying it has been submitted, and in two weeks l will get another phone call, to tell me the next stage!

All the time this is going on the person who they are accessing, is looking confused and l try to imagine what this meeting would be like for a person with dementia. As questions to someone with dementia to complete this form, would simply elicit either a yes or no! There condition does not allow a simple conversation, as they rarely know what day of the week it is, so completing a complicated questionnaire is impossible. Everyone with this type of condition needs to have an advocate present at all times, all the Adult Social Team say, is its just a chat! Even though this is a persons funding for their health care is on the line, so many many times people do not get adequate funds, they really need!

This happens everyday l am told by so many people, no wonder they do not qualify for this pot of money, paid by their husbands hard earned tax, or NI contributions!

It is not their money as l try to say so often, but hers, his and theirs ,without her or him you would not even have a job!

Agribusiness is in a mad rush to take over the earth, and seems willing to stop at nothing. Coming soon is cabbage with scorpion poison engineered in every cell. Of course, they claim it's safe and will result in less pesticide use, but history and logic say otherwise. Who will wake from the insane mating between Agribiz and GMOs?

Get ready for genetically engineered cabbages that come complete with their own scorpion poison, just for you to eat. It's touted as requiring less pesticide use and being, of course, completely safe. Close investigation, though, indicates that neither claim is likely true.

A pesticide made with scorpion poison genetically engineered into a virus was first tested back in 1994. Interestingly, the scientists who sprayed the test field wore full body suits to protect them from this "harmless" poison. One must wonder at just how safe it could be when the developers themselves don't trust it more than that! Of course, the head of the trial, Professor David Bishop, insisted that the trial was safe—though he himself opted to take a vacation, rather than be there for it.

In the newer incarnation of scorpion poison genetic engineering, genes from the scorpion, Androctonus australus hector, for production of poison are being genetically engineered into cabbages. The goal is to produce them for public consumption. With the FDA's history of rubberstamp approvals for genetically modified crops, it seems unlikely that anything will interfere with their production and entry into a supermarket near you.
