A disabled Norfolk person had their care cash stopped after a council official incorrectly recorded them as being dead.
The individual also had their blue badge disabled parking pass cancelled after the error, which has forced Norfolk County Council to review how it notes deaths of patients.
Care staff are due to be issued with new instructions telling them to making sure they write down who tells them of a person’s death and how it happened. The culprit for the initial error has not been found.
Call for carers to help shape future of NHS trust in Norfolk and Suffolk
Carers in Norfolk and Suffolk are being given the opportunity to be involved in a pioneering programme to redesign mental health services.
Carers of people with mental ill health are being invited by Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust to join a monthly focus group dedicated to helping the organisation shape future services.
The focus group is part of an innovative project called Radical Pathway Redesign, which sees doctors, psychologists and other mental health professionals taking a fresh look at what, where and when the Trust provides treatment.
The group, announced during Carer’s Week <18 – 22 June>, will directly influence the programme by putting forward thoughts, ideas and suggestions about how services can be improved.
Brain tumour charities lobby Parliament
Charities lobbied Parliament last week, asking MPs to join the fight against brain tumours.
MPs were encouraged to improve awareness about brain tumours by pledging to sign an Early Day Motion, signing an e-petition, and to do more to promote awareness of brain tumours in their constituencies and to participate in meetings of the All Party Brain Tumour Group. Several Members of Parliament were photographed signing a Brain Tumour Pledge to help raise the issues with Parliament (Conservative MP Andrew Selous is pictured above).
