Alphie Lonergan is 84 years old and the primary carer for two of his adult children. He's worried about how he'll cope after a health trust said it was withdrawing a care package. The Southern Health Trust apologised but said the decision was due to a lack of social care staff.
"Thank God I'm in good shape, physically. Mentally, I'm under awful, awful stress."
84-four-year-old Alphie Lonergan is the primary carer for his two adult sons, but on Friday their only remaining care package will end.
