Growing concern that disabled working age adults are being overlooked in the National care service debate. This follows Andy Burnham's conference speech last week. Do you feel working age disabled…
The basic piece is
that, as my discussion obviously is about essential care systems, there's concerns people have about political pride forces, heavy amount of people's care, or working-age disabled adults who can't afford substantial portion of social care spending, physical spending, and real-world issues, including life assessments, means testing, support for living, and, yeah, I've talked about this forward, you know, not just about issues affecting your social care and social welfare and support, but also really the reasons why the focus tends to
be
on
I'm not going to go into the whole piece, but you can see it's a similar thing to what I'm saying, but again, it's in the core book.
you know, it's, he says relatable, but I think, I think, you know, for other people, I think that's it, not for every older person, because, you know, the patient has worked all her life, so it's, you know, when you think of a patient, it's like someone that's worked, they've probably had kids, probably done the same, but, you know, it's a normal thing, and, you know, often put into the system.
And to me, it's more than that.
It's always seems to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, It's hardly ever worked, never worked in public health conditions.
So it's a whole other tip to everything in the service.
And that tip is obviously the range of this.
You know, it's out of social care.
You serve people who are not doing that well by the system and then work for HP.
people where it's hard to survive these things.
They're full drawn up.
They
don't have the ability to settle in for it.
That's another thing when I call it squarely, it's very hard.
You're really shipped up until you get to a point where several people are supporting you.
Most of them are not supporting you to be anything.
You need to have a system that to do that, guess what, you need to fix the social care system, don't worry a lot.
Also, when sales, I personally, disabled person, personally at this point of time don't need social care, but you know, that's what I'll do, my disabled peers will do, and ultimately, you know, from stress, I need to spend you know, the system is very much working and people are working.
In organisations, people have gone to social work, you know, years ago.
I can tell you it's broken now.
And it's all too late until you fix those things.
And, you know, I've talked to you know,
