You ask “Once health has been compromised, is wellbeing merely just a tokenistic ideology?” This should never ever be the case but based on the questions and comments we were being asked it would appear that in the phase between “normality” and “diagnosis” of Dementia this, sadly, is frequently the situation. I am attending a meeting tomorrow at which I have asked the following to be addressed; “Given the recent Care Act and its inherent drive to Personalisation, yet the reduced amount of per capita funding at the level of the service user, I am keen to ascertain how the needs of the individual can be met if they do not end up buying their solutions themselves?” Maybe some of the answers to this question will address whether we are dealing with just a tokenistic ideology.<br />Clive Noak, cn@protelhealth.com, www.telmenow.com/blog<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189901460077759179noreply@blogger.com
