Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:04 pm on 27 June 2017.
I thank the First Minister for that reply. We all appreciate the financial challenge that social care will pose for us in the future. We have a situation in north Ceredigion now where the council has announced the closure of a care home called Bodlondeb. This has come as a bolt from the blue. Nobody knows where the residents will be sent to. There is no social care plan for north Ceredigion, yet there is a consultation going on over the closure of this home. Is it not unfair upon those who are placed in this position that there is this uncertainty and the council has spent, apparently, £2 million on Pricewaterhouse Coopers’s advice on £12 million to £14 million-worth of council cuts? Does this not seem a bizzare priority, when the real needs of real people are going by the board?
