So much for those "Carers Charter" posters pinned up at entrances to wards at my local hospital! Not that they were ever followed in my mother's case three years ago. They were for decorative, feel good purposes back then! Whilst we are applauding from our windows, our rights are being ripped away. ...

Michael, I just read Helen Walker's well written "Blog". It was informative. Thank you.

Keep them well hydrated. That's some stuff I've seen on the US tell...

Thank you, Henrietta xx

Not a forceful response to the bill. https://www.ageuk.org.uk/discover/2020/03/social-care-and-coronavirus/ Shall ha...

Sorry everyone, I'm a bit out of the loop on the Government vulnerable persons list, which I may well be on but can't access my letters at the moment.
