I have just emailed the Alzheimer’s Society and Woman’s Hour on Radio 4 about our long trail of neglect by the NHS. As a regular and avid listener of Woman’s Hour I am hoping that Jenni Murray might be interested in helping us raise this issue in the media. No one should have to suffer like my poor mum has. So, let’s hope they follow the link to my blog and let’s hope that some kind of action can now be taken. Let’s face it, if you can’t trust Woman’s Hour, who can you trust to help you?
It’s high time this issue was addressed. Not just for Alzeheimer’s, but for all those who – whatever their illness – are unable to speak for themselves.
I’ve witnessed this kind of thing with some of my own relatives, and it’s very, very frustrating and upsetting. Surely it doesn’t have to be like this?
I hope Woman’s Hour picks up the ball and runs with it. In the meantime, if there’s anything I can do to help, just let me know.
Good luck.
