Had one some years ago, useless.
Got told unless I wanted a break and my caree agreed to accept services I wasnt entitled to anything.

I would love to join in but unfortunately I am unable to as I will be at work.

[wendy]

Honey, Sorry that you wont be able to join us but this will be a good chance for you to tell Emma about the difficulty you face, if you would like to pm me.

[wendy]

Would anyone else like to send in a question for Emma, if they cant join us on Monday night.

[mumxtwo]

I am sorry but I probably wont be able to join the chat on Monday evening but I have a question for Emma:-

Please can you tell us how you feel about the cutbacks regarding carer support from Mind? Thank you.

[wendy]

that was my question Sandra, so dont worry.

anyone else got something to ask?

[Myrna]

Could you please ask Emma,because of the cut backs many of the people that do the carers assessments
are possibly going to lose their jobs,does that mean that the wait to have an assessment or review of one is
going to take a lot longer than it has in the past.Thankyou.

[Honey]

Its  daunting knowing  now that I cant retire at 60 and will have to continue working till I am 67, and caring just the same as I have done for the last 30 plus years.

Please get thinking of the question you would like to ask Emma on Monday.
It's not long now to wait, this is a great opportunity for us, and Emma is very friendly.

[wendy]

Not long before our hosted chat for carersweek.

[wendy]

Thank you Barry for arranging this, and thank you Emma for making it such a worthwhile evening in our chatroom.
