An NHS physio phoned me yesterday, to discuss Viv. He's obviously been engaged because of her stay in the Lister. It ws a long call, perhaps fifteen minutes.
The conversation seemed somewhat surreal to me: questions about carers, the type of house we live in, her walking and eating capabilites, etc. In fact it ws a repeat of a discussion I had with a physio at Bedford hospital a year ago.
Being 'in the care system', all of the information should be available to anyone needing it, surely? Didn't the physio at Bedford hospital enter it into a computer system so that carers, social workers and others can understand her needs?
Obviously not. Why do something just once when you can pay many people to do it time and again (and also insult the intelligence of the relative / carer by asking questions they've already answered before) ?...
