i am being positively pessimistic as my meeting with social services draws closer. it is tomorrow and is the first step of my tiny complaint. i have complained to social services about the nursing home that my father died in, i have complained to the nursing home that likes to ignore me, to my mp, to the care quality commission. and those complaints are just to do with my father dying in agony, not having morphine administered and left to basically drown in the fluid in his lungs. you know, minor things, and all the other little annoyances and hurt that go along with caring for your loved and dying ones, whilst being completely ignored and left alone with 'it all'.
so, i am steeling myself for a disappointment, a brush off tomorrow.
as for my other ongoing complaint, regarding hillingdon council and providing carers for my father that stole and took advantage in almost every way, failing to provide proper care, becoming beneficiaries and executrix of my fathers will, they are supposed to be put on POVA, protection of vulnerable adults list, and barred from working with vulnerable people. supposed. when this will happen i dont know. although the lib dem shadow health secretary's team intend to 'pursue matter', isa are very unforthcoming in their communications, all i would like to know is a reasonable timeframe for this to happen. hillingdon borough council have confirmed that this is what they want to do via letter. so as for all of the public statements, and new policies, people remain working, unchecked, with sick, frail, elderly adults. they are automatically given trust by the poor damn folk that rely so heavily on them, and are still taking advantage in the cruellest way.
so this is my start. i dont expect to change the world, im too old for that. or even to right a few wrongs. just to keep fighting and make a mess, encourage others to complain, because being silent keeps such abuses happening again and again and again.
