Received letter from Rethink about the day services they provide in my area which includes the befriending service that provides my befriender.
It seems that the local PCT who provides funding for their services has served notice on the existing contract and that significant changes to how the service is provided are potentially in the pipeline.
Unfortunately specific details weren't given in the letter as to what was said at last Thursday's meeting to discuss the changes.(I couldn't attend as felt too anxious) but i did manage to email my befriending co ordinator and get some details.
Basically the speaker from the PCT said the PCT have given
notice to Rethink for both the Day Service- RISE and Befriending - Good
Companions. His rationale was that Government directives and funding have to
be adhered to - he said that Rethink services are too expensive. He also said that the
PCT do have funds for mental health services, but with revised directives and reduced funding.
My befriending co ordinator says that Rethink still have some uncertainty regarding the future of the service and that their
senior managers are in negotiations with the PCT.
So while tax evading bastards* are treated with kid gloves people like me all over the country are faced with the prospect of reduced services due to the cuts being forced on Public services by Cameroon and his equally anti social and immoral cronies.
The befriender is assigned to me because i am at risk of social isolation.If the worst comes to the worst and the befriending service is curtailed then i will end up being even more isolated. That will do wonders for my mental well being -NOT.
*The Prime Minister has declared it unacceptable that a blind eye be turned to benefit fraud costing the government £5.2 billion a year and yet tax fraud in the form of tax evasion costs in the estimate of HM Revenue & Customs more than £30 billion a year and in the estimate of others £70 billion a year. Why is it acceptable to him and his ministers that a blind eye be turned to this bigger issue whilst he focuses our attention on the smaller one?
