Apology and payout to family after elderly woman care failures
A Reading family has received a pay out after a series of failures over the car of an elderly woman. The woman's family made a complaint to the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman about how Reading Borough Council looked after the woman, who was in her 90s. The complaint comes after the woman moved from Bristol to a care home in Reading, which led to a row between Reading and Bristol City Council over who should pay for her care.

Lower population growth translates into higher per capita GDP, leading to higher incomes, savings, and investment.By contrast, high population growth can reinforce an intergenerational cycle of poverty, with young people in large families often lacking access to the skills, tools, and opportunities they need to improve their future.In 1970, Indonesia’s National Population and Family … [Read more...] about Effective family planning is critical for future of Indonesia
