"The carer's on the front line," Ms. Campbell continues, "often work outside their meagre hours to help clients sustain their dignity and respect, to do their job properly. However, this cannot always be possible when there are other clients to visit also with a half hour slot. These cuts make no economic sense, and are not only financially wrong but morally wrong; the treatment of the elderly and/or disabled in this country is disgraceful.

Ms. Campbell concluded: "I personally believe it is only a matter of time before a tragedy happens and someone will be found too late to help, and this government will have their blood on their hands. When and not if this happens, we will remind this government every single day that the culpability lays at their door; we will never let them forget. These cuts have to be reversed and reversed immediately—this is why I will be taking part today's protest march alongside many other campaigns fighting back against the cuts."
