Regular thread members will know that Mum died last year in February. A week after she died my request for Continuing Crae was refused. I was going to let it drop because I felt the whole system was skewed againt dementia patients and said so in a very forthrigth letter to the PCT. However I was invited to appeal because they said that many of my points had been raised by the ombudsman and their procedures were being reviewed. To cut a long story short I been invited to attend a panel meeting the week after next, next week I will meet with an NPA and the CC lead from the PCT to go though the 30 page document the panel will see. I will have an oportunity to add the the document and address the panel. I have read the previous 'crisis' thread and will remind myself aout the booklet but I wondered if there were any members who had attended such a panel and could give me any tips. Also Nada, is it worth ringing the Society at this stage.
I don't for one minute imagine I will be successful but want to let them know how biased I think the whole procedure is and cost focussed not patient focussed.
