Carers Group Zoom Meeting – 14th September 2021

Unfortunately, I have not yet received any notes from Rachel with regards to her talk on ‘Socially Funded Care’ but as soon as I do receive them I will forward them on separately.

For those who have any questions and would like to contact Rachel direct, please see her contact details below. Please make sure you mention you are from Dementia Club UK.

Please also note the following

Unfortunately, the Finchley Memorial Hospital has now decided that they will no longer be cancelling any further penalty charge notices. Please see my message below which I will be emailing out to ALL members for your information.

Please note that as from next week I will no longer be registering the cars. The hospital has confirmed to me in writing that whilst they were initially happy to receive a list from me with all the car registration numbers specially for Dementia Club UK, this has unfortunately resulted in a few mistakes where hospital staff either missed or input the wrong car details and as a result a few members received penalty charge notices. Whilst the penalty charge notices have all been cancelled, this arrangement can no longer continue, and the hospital has now informed me that it would be best for each person who attends with their car to make sure they register their car as soon as they enter the hospital. Please also note that those who also just drop off people even for a second need to register their car and this also applies to people with disabled badges. There is no concession for disabled badge holders and if you park in a disabled bay, you still need to display your badge in the windscreen and also register your car.

In the meantime, please see below what we further discussed at the carers group meeting on the 14th September for your information.
