The family of a 92-year-old man has spoken of their battle with the Southern Health and Social Care Trust to provide a care package for his release from hospital following a fall in which he sustained serious injuries.
The patient resides near Dungannon and his two daughters share caring responsibilities, despite one living some distance away.
She explained, “My father is very elderly, frail and considered a vulnerable adult by clinicians treating him for long-standing medical conditions for which he takes medication, requires a walking aid and mobile oxygen to ease his breathing, He is stooped due to spinal degeneration and is significantly visually impaired, recognising people by their voices.
