I haven't even found a phone number for Social Services since I've been here. I was given one number which turned out to be a line for ordering additional equipment ONCE YOU WERE ACCEPTED AS A CUSTOMER. In my last home, you may remember, I waited 12 months for AN APPOINTMENT to discuss having a shower installed. I don't think I'll bother.
