Councils putting time limits put on elderly care
Most councils are imposing unreasonably short time limits on care for the elderly at home, according to the UK Homecare Association.
In a survey, it found that an estimated 75% of councils expected carers to complete visits to elderly people in less than half an hour.
Ten per cent imposed time limits of 15 minutes.
