'I'm 58 but am stuck at home and can't see my grandkids because I've had no carers for five months'

A 58-year-old woman who has been waiting five months for essential at-home carers has said she can't bring herself to leave the house. Christine Thomas, from Swansea, suffers with several health issues and is in remission from cancer, and now can't walk or perform basic hygiene tasks.
