Letter: Hard questions must be asked about care for the elderly
Independent, The (London), Apr 1, 2005 by JANE AIKEN HODGE
Sir: Johann Hari paints a timely, bleak picture of what awaits the old when dwindling facilities force them reluctantly into under- funded care homes (Opinion, 30 March). Of course we all dread it. We don't want to be bed blockers either. So why not, when the time comes, and not before, give us the option of a quick and merciful pill?
Of course there would have to be safeguards, but granted the money it would save it should be possible to provide them. And how much more happily we would live the rest of our lives, knowing our future is planned. Hari is absolutely right. These are facts that need to be faced and the sooner the better.
