So farewell to Anne Williams, Strategic Director of Salford Council’s Community Health and Social Care dept, who’s left for pastures new, as National Director for Learning Disabilities. Salford Star readers may recall that it was Anne who started the notorious `d*ckhead files’ when she announced that Salford Council had ripped up the Star’s application for Community Committee funding last year.
As a kind of homage to Anne’s track record in Salford, let me re-quote from Public Finance e-magazine when she admitted that councils have been increasing charges and getting some of the most vulnerable people in society to pay for their own care…”Even in very deprived areas” she said “we can still take money from people’s disability allowances…”
Stuff like that should go down really well at the Learning Disabilities dept…
