A fair, simple, coherent and enabling adult care system is
what disabled people need. But will the green paper deliver?The more I think about adult social care, the more I'm reminded of the fable of the elephant and the blind men.

so they went to find one. They surrounded the elephant, and each
touched the part nearest to them. The first said that it was like a
huge snake; the second, like a massive spear; the third, like a wall;
the fourth, like a huge fan; the fifth, like the trunk of a tree; and
the sixth, like a piece of rope. Each having touched the elephant,
they went away and carried on arguing about what an elephant was.
