The Forum
"""""""""
A late resolution which will be considered at the
next National Council Meeting will be concerning
further spending on sheltered accomodation.
Phil Watkins is urging for increased spending to
initiate developing further build of communities
that incorporate shelered "pt 2" and extended
sheltered "pt 2.5" in one complex, thus extending
the provision of care with adequate domicillary
care and in house support.
Phil Watkins will also be urging further Socialist
Health Association presence at Trade Union
conferences and other political party conferences,
to add to the existing Labour Party and Unison
conference attendances.
Phil will promote the Socialist Health Association
at Liberal Party Trade Union Link conference, and
Liberal Party assembly, as secretary, and member
respectively. |
