REGARDING the elderly couple in a care home who faced separation in the shake-up of services (LET, March 22), the man in charge of social services, County Coun Chris Cheetham, said earlier there were 'no guarantees' the couple would stay together.
I respectfully suggest that he resigns from his job forthwith. To come out with such a stupid statement, which would obviously need to be retracted, indicates a complete lack of common sense or insensitivity.
Either way, he needs to walk. If he won't resign whichever party he belongs to should do the decent thing and suspend him.
To put these people at their time of life under stresses such as this is just plain cruel and putting the tag 'social services' anywhere near his name, beggars belief
