| Comment | I won’t pretend for a split second that I can talk, but I used to work in NHSGGC addictions, and some of the more experienced folk were telling me that even the folk in the worst nick you’d see are still the ones in good enough condition//have the wherewithal to get in touch with services. There is an entire world of absolute pestilence, drug use and horror that NHS/the council just have nothing on, folk that are born, live and die knowing nothing but drugs and alcohol.
I dunno if many folk will remember Baby P, a child that died about 10+ years ago basically because he fell through the cracks of various services, but anyway everyone I worked with said that must happen all the time and will happen again, no question.
Even now, we had a child in early April, and they’re lax as fuck about who she is and how she’s doing. We have to chase the health visitor down. |
