i just wondered what others think of this.
i dont know if any of you get direct payments for care. i do and considering the events at Westminster at the end of last week about mps employing family members and it being a topic of conversation-
can i ask what your opinions are about people who receive direct payments not being allowed to employ family members to do their care work.
it seems to me to be a form of discrimination that if i was an mp that i could employ my husband to be my secretary but if i retired due to ill health and claimed direct payments to employ somebody to do my care that i couldnt employ my husband to do it. i think there is something wrong in this. while it could possibly be seen that corruption could occur it somehow isnt so if he was my secretary.
