Heres a story about spongers, real spongers not someone who may be claiming entitlement and been slipped a few K for one or 2 events that was not likley to continue.

My wife worked at an old peoples home some time ago, there the residents were subjected to abuse you would find hard to believe. Left overs were served up the next day. Unqualified personal were dealing with the medication, medication was not allways reordered on time so other residents medication was borrowed. Doctors are suposed to visit patients every so many prescriptions, this rarely happened, a qualified nurse is suposed to be present during the nightshift. Invariably all these positions/jobs are performed by unqualified school leavers because they are cheap labour, yet the home owners are getting a good £1000+ per week per resident, many small homes take a good 6 to 12 residents. Having worked in one myself for a while I knew what was occuring at my wifes place of employment was not right. The whistle was blown to the council, who then informed the home that they were coming out for an examination in 2 days time as there has been alegations made about the running of the home. Of course the council who is in charge of giving out licences also recieves reasonable financial sums for them. Nothing was found against the owners but they then went on a war hunt to victimise the person they believed informed on them out of their job.

Thats £52,000 .00 at least per year per resident sponging, and they get to sell on at the end either a business or a large and expensive house. Of course there are some very well run homes but theres a huge amount that is run like this, as my wife found out when she got in touch with some one who wrote regularly for care weekly and got my wifes story published in it.
