An Aberdeen woman who said her husband had 106 carers for his dementia in the space of a year has met Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon. <\/p>\n
Jeanette Maitland said the different people sent by agencies working for Aberdeen’s social work department contravened her husband Ken’s dignity. <\/p>\n
Mr Maitland died from a dementia-related illness on 12 May aged 72. <\/p>\n
Mrs Maitland attended the meeting with fellow members of the National Dementia Carers Action Network. <\/p>\n
The meeting was described as positive and further talks are planned. <\/p>\n
Aberdeen City Council chief executive Valerie Watts has pledged to look into the case. <\/p>\n
Mrs Maitland previously told BBC Scotland she initially wrote down the names of her husband’s carers so that she could get to know them. <\/p>\n
She said: “I kept writing, writing, writing, until we’re here where we are today with 106 carers. <\/p>\n
“Where is respect for his dignity? I feel I should have sold tickets.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
