Somebody in the UK will probably have to do help me with this question.
I employ carers privately. I've been doing it for many many years now. In fact, two of my carers have been with me for over 25 years. So I think it's fair to say that they know how to look after me properly. A couple of years ago the district nurses insisted that they have an assessment when inserting suppositories. I went along with it at the time but as you can probably imagine it's not the sort of procedure that you really want to have done in front of an audience. Anyway, they contacted me today to say that the nurses have to come in again to do a six-month assessment. I'm absolutely bouncing off the walls with rage. I don't see why this has to be done again. They told me that if I don't agree to the assessment then my girls will not be allowed to do it and I will have to have the nurse come in. I find this insulting and if this is not abusing my human rights then I don't know what would.I employ three carers. So I would have to repeat this process three times for each carer.
Has anyone else experienced the same sort of thing happening to them?
