Letters to the EditorGroup Homes Sell-Off Fears
Please can you shed some light on the DoCS issue(NSW) where they are selling off group homes with no real interest for the clients in the care of workers. some off which have worked for long periods off time. Not only are they being moved on to the highest bidder, but more to the point those without the ability to defend themselves and rely on the help & support from the Gov are be sold like common cattle. Tell me this is not true and if so how many gorup homes where the clintes have lived together for long periods of time, and are like borther and sister to each other will now be seperated. are they now going to be uprootred form the home they once new.or will it be sold off. families split and DoCs staff put out off work also, who cares for the carers and those that cant help themselves..
