Did you see my friend Rosa Monckton’s film ” When a mother’s love is not enough” on BBC1. It was as devastating as Cathy Come Home. Rosa has a handicapped child - Domenica (my god-daughter). Rosa roamed the country visiting other parents of desperately handicapped children. Their plight didn’t just make me cry as a parent, but livid that our social services, instead of helping, trusses them in shaming red tape. Just how they cope is what Rosa captured so bleakly in her remarkable documentary. Perhaps now with a PM with a handicapped son and a PM-in-waiting (who Rosa interviewed about his son who died aged 6) there is a chance of something being done. God knows those parents deserve it. Catch it while you can on BBC iPlayer.
