REGARDING your report (LET, March 15) about the closure of a care home and its elderly residents being given just 36 hours' notice to leave, I was disgusted and very upset at old people being treated this way.

It worries me what is happening to this country with this government in power. We can't afford to keep old people's homes open and yet we can afford millions on going to war.
