The Stinking Agenda

I have also written to Norfolk LINks:

David Hayman,
LINks Lead,
Norfolk County Council,
County Hall,
Martineau Lane,
Norwich,
NR1 2UU.


Hello Mr Hayman.

Formal Complaint



On 21.09.07. I contacted the Norfolk Links Lead Person (not you at that time) to ask: “Can I please ask you to include me in any meetings you organise and to include meeting venues accessible to people who live in this area. I live in an area of Norfolk generally socially excluded from most community development activities and too many of those activities turn out to be Norwich-centric - not easily accessible for those hard to reach people with disabilities. My address is: (as above)

Between then and the end of March this year I was in regular touch with you expressing a keen interest and asking to be kept informed. On 24.03.08. I mailed you saying: “As the 31st and the demise of PPI Forums approaches, you must by now have the interim body in place to continue necessary work... can you please let me have details of the new arrangements...”

AND? ----------- Nothing. No e mail, no posters, no letters, no announcements. ------- Nothing.

I must point out that this secrecy is contrary to central government policy and the legislation.


Heddwch.

Mike Llywelyn Cox.

I tried to respond to a Patient Citizen Exchange blog by Laura Greene today. I said: Hello Laura. Welcome - and my admiration? for you "single-handedly representing the entire health voluntary sector and 1000+ PCX membership..." My first question has to be: what is the composition of the Strategic Advisory Board? And my second question: what proportion of service users to professionals is there on that Board? There are indeed millions of impatient citizens out there. They are called Service Users (primarily because 'Patient" carries the labels 'One that has things done to her/him'; 'One that is subservient to the "We know what is best for you" approach'; 'One that is at the wrong end of an imbalance of power.' etc). The Americans prefer the term 'consumers', but whatever, we should avoid the term with the negative connotations. I was listening to the 5 Live debate this morning on the Strictly Come Dancing row about whether
