The social services team and the clinical occupational therapy teams need to get themselves sorted out quickly so that people are not affected by their lack of action.
Two weeks ago, the occupational therapists, who have been seeing my wife for some time, decided that the support my wife needed was the responsibility of the County social services team. A week ago, the County Social Services team accepted responsibility and rang to say someone would ring the following day but no one has. I need a new toileting sling for my wife, all it takes it a call to the local Red Cross equipment providers who would then be able to deliver it to me. However, the occupational therapists and the social services team appear to be in a wrangling match about who should make this call, we are caught in the middle without access to the sling that we need. How difficult can it be? Why does it need to be so complicated and time consuming?
