Taylor is in charge of this department isnt he what have got to say about it 4 star service .
I thought he did say it was a 4 star service or something or other at the last council meeting going on that Tameside couldn't get any better as it was the highest standard... eek!
Obviously these government standards are set to low to give themselves a good pat on the back!
Hey Liam tell us the truth are you working for John Taylor?
The 4 star service at that meeting was for home and community care services, this one is for supporting people it will be at the next meeting see you there .
Two more and it will be five stars.
Liam did ask if he could work for Taylor but he refused to have him .
