Divide and Rule – Social Work Director Alexander is scared to meet DGPPG carers in a group face to face

First Stranraer ARC, see article 17-Mar, and now Newton Stewart.  We hear that another small seperate meeting with selected carers will take place at the Newton Stewart ARC in April, but other carers are excluded and not welcome.  Why?  This secrecy and refusal to face and answer simple basic questions continues to undermine trust.  Which four ARCs did JA select and intend to close last October?  Will it be the same four to go first next time round, picked off one by one?   Where is the transparency and honesty that should be the hallmark of a really caring service and manager?
