As the Trustees of two long standing Day Centres for elderly care are forced to close due to financial stringency , Penwith Radio attends an important Cornwall Council meeting on Feb 16th. This meeting set the budget for the forthcoming year. The Council website states,”Day care for older people, and people with a physical disability, mental health problem, or learning disability, is available in a wide variety of centres throughout Cornwall.” Penwith Radio talks with some of the representatives about the reality and of those concerned about the effect of the closure of Day Centres, the possible efects on both social care and the community, of cutting the budget on vulnerable old people.
