WIGHTCARE REPORT ENDORSED

After some fuss whilst I was away over the publication of the draft Wightcare report before it was formally approved - to comply with the end of May deadline we were given - last night the Scrutiny Committee did approve it with 6 votes in favour, 1 against and 1 abstention.

The rest of the meeting was pretty short as my planned agenda had been somewhat curtailed whilst I was away. A pity really as the MP turned up to listen, only for me to close the meeting 5 minutes after his arrival ! Next month will be back to normal.

The Conservative's "Champion for Older People" said nothing in the debate and abstained on the vote. Given that the majority of people who use Wightcare are older people this is a bit strange.

If a "champion" behaves like this what do the ones who don't give a monkeys do?
