A quiet time

A hectic schedule and a problem with internet access have conspired to prevent me from posting anything really meaningful over recent weeks, but is it just me or is the world of social care a rather quiet one right now?

The media is a fickle beast; like a channel-surfing teenager it has a short attention span rapidly flicking between channels to create some sort of post-modern collage. One second we're getting all worked up debating the big society, individual budgets and disability benifits and suddenly the channel is changed. A complete break. We're now talking about NHS reforms. The rest will have to wait patiently until events; a speech, confrence, report or scandal lead the media to return with our collective attention once again.
