Robyn Gibbins told an employment tribunal that she was not given a room that she could lock and felt let down by the trust in Cardiff. A trust spokesperson said the Cardiff and Vale university health board was committed to ensuring all colleagues are treated respectfully, with dignity and without discrimination or prejudice.

Is this the way to fix social care in England? As yet another review is launched, a single council is offering an alternative to rationing support for the most needy Florence Mahon spent a decade running around after peers at the House of Lords.
