The 69-year-old man, who is paralysed after breaking his neck abroad in 2018, spoke out as care workers across West Dunbartonshire prepared to walk out for two days this week after accusing bosses of undervaluing their work.
A paraplegic Renton man says he has been left in his own faeces as a result of changes to his home care schedule.
“Now my carers are only able to get in at 9.15am at the earliest. By which point the suppositories can have kicked in and I’m lying in my bed covered in faeces.GMB said the industrial action has the overwhelming support of members and they feel a grading review failed to reflect their increased responsibilities.
“They are put upon mercilessly. When they are dealing with me alone they will get two or three phone calls or messages asking them to go elsewhere.“My carers are talented, compassionate people. They added that workers have been asked to support people with complex needs, completing increased administration and recording and liaising with other services like NHS Scotland and social work.
