Axe Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Why not employ your own carers rather than pay sixteen thousand pounds a month to a care company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECCOnoob Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 50 minutes ago, hackey lad said: More questions than answers . Absolutely. Something seems very fishy here. Another woe is me documentary and accompanying interviews. Another cash injection on the back of her late husband's illness. Based on the report she is earning £544k a year from her tv work, which, even after the substantial tax, equates to more than someone's annual salary every month. They live in a £4m property. Even if half of her monthly income was on this 'extortionate' care - it still left nearly £9k a month to pay everything else. Cut your cloth accordingly - everyone else would have to. Maybe sell the £4m house and buy somewhere else. Im sure £2m could still buy something nice leaving the other £2m to pay for these supposed debts. Seems to me that there is some excuse making and playing for sympathy here. Banging on about care costs and struggling when its obvious that the hardship has REALLY came from of her husband's failed company. Interesting also that she claims in the article that she had no legal authority on the failing business yet a quick glance at companies house shows her named as a shareholder and the one who signed the Liquidation paperwork over two years ago. Pity the journalist failed to mention things like that. Although that wouldn't have resulted in a nice gooey life interest sympathy seeking piece. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I was told by a doctor that care for a relative in a specialist neurological unit would cost £16,000 per month. I asked how this amount could possibly be justified and was told they were over a barrel and didn't have any other choice but to pay it. It was because they required one to on,e 24 hour care. I was expecting some amazing care for that sort of money, but it was appalling. The one to one didn't happen, and neither did the 'specialist care'. I can't go into further details because it is subject to a legal complaint. It is a racket, pure and simple. It needs a public enquiry. The NHS has lost control of these outsourced pivatised 'services' and are being exploited by ruthless and greedy care companies. It's a scandal. The extortionate amounts of tax payers money being fed into the NHS is going straight into the pockets of these companies, which is why we never see the money making any discernible difference. They care nothing for the wellbeing of their 'clients.' They only care about a fast profit. ,,,Tory privatisation at its finest... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
