I have written before about the bureaucracy of our alleged Aged ‘Care’ System – you can read those posts here, here and here. Oh, and again here – plus there is another story to tell but I have been so traumatised by it I can’t bring myself to tell it yet.  Here is my take on the stories one often reads in newspapers about elderly people being found dead inside their own homes, having lived in ‘squalor’. I now know that this is because they gave up trying to get help because it is so complicated and inefficient, or died while on hold on the phone.

The end.
