Stating the case why we must look after the elderly and vulnerable-PART I
Often we hear of the politicians, the privileged being flown to South Africa for treatment for review and for all sorts of treatment. Were do our old and vulnerable people go? Are the people flown out more human than those left behind? Does it always work when we are flown to South Africa? Most come back in a casket at colossal sums of Tax Payers money. What greed! For how long are we going to continue with this barbaric uncaring behaviour? We need services close to ourselves and not taking chances with life.To illustrate this I have thought of looking at the plight of the elderly as they are the most vulnerable.
