We are receiving information that things are still
ongoing after the protest, MP's in various areas
have agreed to see carers, either a question and answer
meeting or an informal chat.
We have also had invitations to meetings, however,
being carers ourselves we sometimes have had to arrange for
other carers to take our places, if anyone is interested
in participating in any of the ongoing meetings etc
could they pm/email the committee.
