From Brent Advocacy Concerns (for background see LINK)
Yesterday a 74 year old disabled lady visited our office for her third appointment. Her main issue is that she lives in a council flat with no heating and is on the third floor in a block with no lifts. She has to stay in bed all the time to keep warm. We have had to pass her case onto Brent Start, as we do not know how much longer we can remain in our office. Normally we would do the work ourselves but we could not be certain that we could complete her case before we had to leave our office.
Brent Clinical Commissioning Group informed us exactly one month ago today, that they need our office for clinical use but they have not given us any further information and they do not reply to our emails.
This time last year (23rd Nov. 2016) the CCG and the council gave us assurances at 'The Well Being Scrutiny meeting' that they would support us to remain in Brent but they have not been in touch and the councillors do not reply to our emails either.
