Don't worry, Colin, there is no such wing. My comments were clearly intended to be humorous - yes, we are allowed to make light hearted comments here - though there is no smoke without fire, and one or two oddballs on the fringe of the movement have tried to object to this long-standing partnership for reasons best known to them. It seems you have recently encountered them and formed your own opinion, with which I concur.
Carers UK gets some useful financial support from Tunstalls, and it works both ways. Carers who wish to reduce some of the anxiety of constant observation may also benefit from knowing about the latest technology that is available, in the same way that many parents now benefit from having baby alarms so they know when baby wakes up and needs feeding or a cuddle.
As for the Japanese care robots, whilst there is a very funny side to all this, any kind of labour saving or safety device is worth at least looking at. No doubt there were those who disapproved of tumble driers when they first came out too....
