So it was a busy start this morning getting everything together for the meeting, which was being held at Dan Byle’s MP office in Bedworth. Layla headed off to get a letter from Sarah our GP before we set off for 9.30am. At the meeting was my previous & existing Social workers, Gurbash & Amin, Fiona & Mags from CHC & Angie from the Rowan Association as well as the four of us. There was also someone from Dan Byles's office taking notes.
The main purposes of the meeting, which became clear very quickly was that Fiona & Mags from CHC wanted to know what had gone wrong and why the process had taken so long from my original CHC assessment to now. But also to apologise and explain the process fully, as part of the delay was with my assessment going to panel for ratification which Fiona was in charge of. Fiona is Estelle’s (my CHC assessor) manager and Mags is Fiona’’s manager, they then outlined how the process was going to move forward.
So a meeting will take place next Friday 9th December where we will update the original assessment and then a new Decision Support Tool will be completed at a meeting the following Friday. I think we all came away thinking the meeting had been very positive as much as it was frustrating that we were taking a backwards step it sounded like everyone was fully behind a decision going for ratification before Christmas.
Once we got back from the meeting I worked from home for the rest of the day and Mum & Dad were heading into town to the German market he with some of Mum’s old work colleagues. This also included them having lunch at Jamie Oliver’s restaurant in Birmingham, a very nice afternoon was had. It was a very quiet evening and I grabbed an early night, after the meeting this morning I felt shattered but relieved.
