more not so funny, full time carers inc. kids

the government is saving£millions every year because family m,embers ie spousers and even children are being denied help from social services and in many cases being left to manage alone for lack of social service funding and fear of families or couples being split up.according to the 2001 census there are at keast 170,000 school children are caring for elderly or disabled relatives
in some cases registered disabled people are fulltime carers receiving little or no
help from social services.the child carer figure is a minimum from the census
the figures cannot be relied upon as many of those concerned fear the authorities
and the break up of families or relationshipsover£1billion is being saved annually as government and county councils restrict funding due to keeping council and other tax rises to a minimum for political expediency.
it is ascandal which successive governments and oppositions are more comfortable ignoring.cost should not be the problem
providing long -term residential care for those whoshould not be ignored by a system which takes advantage of children and not always fully able adults.
labour has not only failed to meet it's target for lifting children out of poverty
it has continued where the tories kleft off in ignoring the the loss of childhood and education of those children carers who subsidise social services through their dedication with little if any help at all it certainly does not look like a labour government is in power it's time for action.
