It is vitally important that any cuts in health care do not affect the quality of service delivered. www.whereforcare.co.uk in the care homes ratings and reviews website, and instigating a programme of continually posting reviews of care facilities in the Hammersmith and Fulham area will ensure that if standards are declining, it will hopefully quickly become apparent.
The Cowan Report! Excellent. Some lessons obviously taken on board then.
