THE revelation that yet another elderly person in NSW has died in his own home almost a year ago is an indictment of our self-centred society (``Man dead for a year before anyone noticed’’, 10/1).
That another human being can be off the scene for more than a year and that his neighbours could apparently give a ``continental’’ is a national shame.
The Yagoona resident’s letter box had been overflowing with mail for months _ a telltale sign of a potential problem with an elderly person not known to travel _ and all the neighbours can say is that it is ``the government’s fault’’. Spare me.
