By Matt Smith, Politics and business reporter
CAMPAIGNERS for the elderly and disabled last night condemned council plans to put up care charges and cut day places in Southampton.
They warned the budget proposals would lead to an increase in pensioner poverty and even more vulnerable residents would become lonely and isolated.
Conservative council leaders have revealed plans to plug a £14m budget hole by axing 203 jobs, cutting services, raising charges and a £9m efficiency drive.
It has emerged that Sembal House in Handel Terrace and Bedford House in Amoy Street, which regularly help around 220 adults with disabilities, will be the prime targets in £3m of social care cuts.
Under a day care review to save up to £800,000, about half the 220 adults with disabilities who seek advice, support and therapeutic activities will no longer be eligible and services at Bedford House will be axed.
More than 20 jobs will be lost.
Stanley Fitzgerald, chairman of the Southampton and District Spina Bifida Association whose members use the centres, said they were “vital”.
“It’s a respite for their parents and carers. The council just doesn’t seem to understand how important these day centres are. It will cause havoc and upset for everyone.”
Under the budget plans care charges are also set to rise for the better off in a bid to raise up to £250,000.
All disposable income will be taken into account in bill calculations, rather than 95 per cent, and the council will aim to recover the full cost of day care. It comes on top of winter fuel payment cuts.
The council was yesterday unable to detail how the elderly and disabled would be financially hit, but an impact assessment by council equality officers warned of an “increase in social isolation”.
Age Concern Southampton said it had already received a “significant increase” in calls from older people affected by previous cuts.
“As a result of all these (new) ‘cost-saving’ measures, even more people will become lonely and isolated and as a result suffer with emotional, mental and physical health issues. This in turn will mean rising costs to the NHS and greater demands being made on their already overstretched resources,” chief officer Anne Carty said.
She said increased care provision costs would be well beyond the means of most pensioners leading to “more poverty and hardship” and an expectation that charities and voluntary organisations will “pick up the pieces” was “naive to say the least”.
Councillor leader Royston Smith said the council had been overly generous in the past and could now only afford care for those that met the strict eligibility criteria of “critical” or “substantial”
need.

My loyalty is to no one but my family. I have witnessed the complete ineptitude of councils during the past 30 years! You only have to visit other towns and cities to compare. Why do you think people from outside Southampton do not think much of the place?!
At least now we can actually see that things are happening! Look at the plans for Southampton - yes, we have plans and strategy - this has not been seen seen in this City for 30 years!!

Your link shows me plans,,,,pie in the sky plans that the private sector will not pay for. Plans are one thing,,delivery however is a total different kettle of fish.
How much did they spend getting the plans drawn up?
The non elected officers of the council who are paid to advise councillors have said this will lead to more social isolation for the old and infirm those officers have been ignored,,,what is point of an impact assessment if it's to be ignored?
This is ta disgusting attack on the most vulnerable in the city, implemented by a an administrator defunct of any feeling or caring
I hope everyone remembers this come May.

Lone Ranger my family looked after my gran until she died,we took care of my mum until she died,My cousins have looked after their parents & at least one severely disabled child.

They get upset when no one else looks after them but seem to forget who scrimped & scrapped to give them what they wanted.
I know a lady that escorts handicapped/disabled children to school & some of these parents will send them no matter how ill they are.
one parent lived next door to the school but she was entitled to have someone to take her son to school so she was going to get what she was entitled to.
I will quote socialist values at you as I was bought up by a socialist I went & listened to Harold Wilson & voted Labour up until Kinnock went & Young & then Blair took over.
the whole welfare system was to look after the vulnerable not look after family members that the family can't or won't be bothered with.

Isn't that the message I was trying to get across?
You give up your time for others?
Yes of course you do! Can't prove it though can you so I guess I'll just to take 'your word' for it.
And I'm the douche...

A Dad and a Son!
And without trying to sound callous, its his own family and by default doesn't count as helping others!
His son and dad are prime examples of helping himself/his family and not others!
I thought with a simple worded question there might be a straight answer, but that clearly went over your head. Never mind
And FYI i do give up time to help organisations and charities, let me ask you, do you help others?

I totally respect everyone who takes care of their own. Sadly, I have come across too many people who make every excuse under the sun to avoid their responsibilities. There are too many people being taken care of by the State who should be taken of by their families.

I have no need to wonder, its pretty obvious you do sweet F.A. Its nice to see tory supporters undertaken the current creed of 'in it together'!

You implied, i answered, i asked, you avoided - which is a deflection tactic and similar to that of not looking someone in the eye when lying. You did and have not indicated you help others, so your last sentence makes no sense. I am happy to take your word, but your word was not given...
You may want to think a little more before thumping the keyboard to try and make sentences and not be so fast to come to conclusions.
