Norfolk County Council being tardy

Still no named LINks person for Norfolk CC. Received this today:

Norfolk is one of the Local Authorities I am chasing at the moment as we
have still not received a named contact from them. I will forward it on as
soon as I receive it.

Kind regards

Hello Florella Baker.

On 1st April I sent you this e mail:
---------------------------
With regard to the mail forwarded below (LiNks contacts), can you please
tell me who the `named contact` for Norfolk County Council is.
--------------------------

You replied:
-------------------------
Norfolk County Council have not yet submitted to us their named contact for
the procurement of LINks. I will forward this to you as soon as I receive
this information.
-------------------------

It is now almost five months on. Has Norfolk still not submitted a named
person and if not is there some sanction to deal with the omission?

The DLA and Workfare Scandals.

This ConDem Coalition is exploiting the apparent helplessness of disabled people by taking essential money away from them and forcing vulnerable people, for example, people with mental health difficulties. I remember, when I was a practising social worker, the horror experienced by service users when they received a letter summoning them to undergo a medical examination (25 miles away in Norwich). Some became absolutely terrified at the prospect and the stress of having to get to and face the appointment led to one or two relapses and hospital admissions. Against local authority policy, I always took them to the appointment, went in with them and supported them through the interview acting as advocate. The doctors at these reviews were employed by the Benefits Agency and usually retired from practice. They were also usually empathic with the service user and mostly helped to reduce the terror of the interview. The new 'Workfare' reviews which every DLA claimant will have to und...

Mental Health Labels?

I read this valuable little report yesterday. It presents issues and dichotomies around disability labels, models of disability and rejections of the disability label by mental health service users/survivors. The report makes positive recommendations about furthering the debate but, in my opinion, the user contributions muddy rather than clarify matters. The subjects are seminal to the work being carried out to integrate physically, sensory, mental health and intellectual disabilities - essential if we are to progress further in our strivings for human and statutory rights. For me, the report is enormously helpful in providing a foundation for discussions of what are important questions and perhaps, if properly distributed, it could bring a better focus towards some resolution. Heddwch. Mike.
