Seems that Keith Davies A.M. has forgotten that Labour are part of the administration of Carmarthenshire County Council. He refers to an Independent-led Council but conveniently omits the fact that its Labour Councillors that are being led.
To quote him "We
now have a situation where the County Council is overspending on care in the
private sector to the tune of over £1 million whilst reporting a £209,000
underspend within the budget set aside for its own care homes."
On whose watch is
this happening – none other than Labour Executive Board Member Cllr Pat Jones’
portfolio Health and Social Care..
He has some advice
to the leader too. In a letter to Carmarthenshire County Council Independent
Leader Meryl Gravell, the Llanelli Assembly Member has requested that better
use be made of public care homes. Wonder why he hasn’t sent a copy to the
Deputy Leader – Kevin Madge. O yes of course he is Labour.
Just a gentle
reminder to you Keith. Out of the nine Executive Board members who run the
council three are Labour. Eleven Labour
Councillors were elected at the last County Council elections in 2008, while
Plaid’s group has 30 members but no seat
in the Cabinet
