My service user never fails to tell me how much my visits mean to him. This would be tragic to stop this service which is by no means a luxury to the user. IT IS A LIFE LINE!!!!!! There is so much money being totally wasted in other areas, ie. employing a company to conduct a survey into how a routine fire inspection is undertaken.
SOMERSET SIGHT IS A MUCH APPRECIATED NECESSITY, NOT A LUXURY

I have since learned from her just how valuable the service is - so that people with sensitivity, knowledge, skills and experience can brighten up the lives of people who would otherwise become increasingly isolated, frustrated and homebound - leading to them becoming ill and therefore costs for Social Services and the NHS to bear.
