Lobey you mean they went back on their word about care for you mil. Like all others have.
I don't think so Chrissie. It is just that the phrase, "Free Health Care for the Elderly", is not as "all encompassing" as it would suggest.
I think the "Free" bit is Means Tested and as any Elderly Person who happens to be also a Houseowner has a fair amount of money tied up in property, that money has to be used until there is only about £3000 left and only then does the Free Health Care bit kick in.
Like most legislation, it sounds great on election brochures, but in practise it is not as good as it seems.
