Following an attack my son needed in surgery to both legs. a week after he was told he is being discharged and they will put him in a taxi to housing aid.
He has crutches, stitches, needs physio and a diagnosis if poor recovery and having a disability foot drop.
He rang and told me this. So I brought him to my 2 bedroomed home and he is sharing a room with his 12 year old sister.
In 3 days he has fallen twice. I am unable to lift him into the bath. I am caring for him which I will do but there was no discharge plan given or an assessment of support needed. I have paid tax and NI for decades and we are British citizens.
I feel we have been let down by a service which we are entitled to use.
