#Volunteering is a noble pursuit but it should not replace well-funded services with trained & experienced staff.
I volunteer but I will not do so where it blatantly replaces a paid member of staff.

Kathryn stressed that NHS reform will only succeed if health and social care are treated as equal partners.

Grandparents are often also caring for their own parents.. we were relieved of the responsibility at 66, after 20 years of elder care.
Offering support and care for grandchildren is (often) a more pleasant option.
