WE were appalled to read (LET, September 27) of the closure of homes for the elderly still going ahead in spite of the amount of public concern.
If the level of civilisation of a country is determined by the way it treats its old and helpless, then it does not say much for the attitude of the people who voted for the closures, does it?
