REGARDING to the intended closure of care homes, these are taking place all over the country because they are starved of funding.
Dr Tim Evans, of the Independent Health Care Association, said recently: "Unless the Government makes £1.5 billion available immediately, the care home sector will continue to collapse and the NHS could be left with a bill for £15 billion. Unless Mr Blair acts soon, his plans for saving the NHS will disappear into the sand."
