Its clauses like this that are the slippery slope.  Disabled people are less mobile.  Their carers are confined to the homes of the people they care for.  This lack of exercise makes us fat.  There is no getting away from it.

Its not about "bad diets" or poor eating habits.  If you are tired, exhausted and run down, you have no access to proper respite, then you are hardly going to go jogging every day are you?

So, the health service is now using that as an excuse NOT to provide effective health care.

Its cruel.

It reminds me of the old days where the terminally ill were left out in the "fresh air" for their health until they caught pneumonia and died.  Its a side-ways form of Euthanasia.

I emailed them again about fuel poverty for carers, after speaking about it at the event in front of everyone.
I have received this email this morning.
So keep your fingers crossed.

Dear Wendy,

Thank you for bringing your knowledge and experiences to our engagement -
your contribution is much appreciated.

Best wishes,

Edward Gilbert
Care and Support

bumping this up again for you.

Thank you Wendy!

Lest we forget! 

It has all been over before and what has changed? 

Today there is talk about a register for you should you take, as a favour, a child not your own to school as you take yours, You will be charged to register on this, another stealth tax?

I have not complaints about protecting kids but some ideas pushed out are ill thought out? 

I want protection for me, you, I want the same sort of register for care professionals and care homes and thatw ill not happen if there is only me asking for that. 

A reminder that I will be attending this on Friday.
So any more questions or thoughts???

Very interesting subject.   It appears that nothing has changed.
I've recently been threatened with dismissal from my one day
job due to "not being very reliable" and if not able to let my place
of work  know early enough then I lose one days pay, even though
they know I'm a carer. Its a struggle now on £205 pcm  without
losing anything else.  I think those in goverment really aren't
living in the real world.   moan over !
love and hugs Janet xx
