I am aware I have some quite radical ideas about social care that would change the way a lot of person receive support, potentially reducing the amount their receive while still dramatically improving the quality of their life, and I accept that would include myself. Unlike many people who talk up ideas until its affects them, I am indeed prepared to face the music of my own creations and lead by example.

I feel if we move away from label based compensation and towards meeting outcome based needs to benefit everyone and once people got over the change, including myself, we will all be better off in the long term, but change is difficult but often very so worthwhile.
