Government Policy and the Provision of Services for the Elderly: Statements.
Another case involved an elderly person with gangrene and other ailments who had applied to the local authority for a special bathroom. This person, whom I assume had a terminal illness, had a life expectancy at the time of one year, and was told by the local authority that the provision of the required bathroom would take at least 12 months. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul came to the rescue, and that was wonderful.
