REGARDING ‘Disabled man’s mum to fight on’ (Daily Echo, June 9), Lorraine Zavadil should not accept any cut in funding at all.

Her son Tarik has an irreversible syndrome with very high risk factors. If he was previously assessed as needing 24-hour care, the recession is irrelevant, he still does and always will need 24-hour care.

At the recent Area Forum meeting, she said she can speak to 14 different officers about a single problem, but her son is the one expected to take the cuts.

In the Daily Echo of June 13, we read a pensioner with the degenerative Huntington’s Disease, will lose her nursing home funding in 28 days after another reassessment. How cruel.

We should sack those officials who can come to such ridiculous conclusions about these incredibly vulnerable people and use their wages to support those who need such intensive care.
