Whooooossshhhh Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I'm currently working on a construction project down South, where we are being handcuffed by the 'authorities' because of a few newts. Our current spend on newt removal and preventative fencing is well over a hundred grand, current total of newts found and relocated = 7. I'm sad to say, that whilst I like a bit of newt now and then...... Eddie's mum has far less consideration shown to her by the 'authorities' than some poxy semiaquatic amphibians.

Porto Red Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Signed first thing this morning as soon as your post appeared - I'm only announcing the fact now for the "like"! - seriously though, your poor friend is enduring a living nightmare.

Redrobbin Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Signed gladly. How this happens in this day and age is beyond me. Utterly unbelievable. Cut the pay and bonus payments of some of these top medical chiefs. They'll soon find the money to provide more centres to accommodate of Eddie's needs. Because let's face it; there are some serious failings here if Newcastle is the closest centre available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolmoose Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Signed. My wife worked with young people like Eddie as a registered LD nurse - in and around Bristol -so there are (or were) facilities that could look after him without having to dump him at the opposite end of the country with no thought to his or his family's welfare. She is no longer registered and left the profession as she wasn't able to due the job she wanted to do and what it said on her badge - nurse. The whole LD service is run by bean counters who appear to want to get 'clients' (horrible word but it is what they used) off the books. She was a brilliant LD nurse but the whole thing started to affect her own mental health and she had to get out. Three years training and a decent salary down the drain and a loss to the people that she cared for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 It's a difficult situation. The mixture of the conditions this lad his been diagnosed with sound awful. Both the mental health and learning difficulties systems are being cut and put under massive pressure. However, this child must be very ill if he has been sectioned. It is actually more difficult than people realise to get sectioned, more so if you are a child. There are plenty of people who are being 'cared' for in the community, rather than being hospitalised, when they should be. Whilst I can't imagine how hard it is for the family, in the short term, if there are no local services suitable, at least he is somewhere suitable being looked after. Long term; mental health services, need a serious reform and be far higher up on the government and NHS priority list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I agree Henry, but it's been 3 and a half years now. Hardly short term. Mum has had enough of them promising something will be sorted hence why she's gone public now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldstandrobin Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Signed. Am in a similar but not same situation with my daughter. Just had our grandson of 3 months in Weston and her husband is from Ecuador and is here on a Tourist Visa. Home Office want him to go home and apply from there for a spouse visa. B******y waste of money they cant afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANT OVER, PETITION SIGNED Poxy semiaquitic amphibians, really? Thin end of the wedge, be it Newts or any other worthy conservation of species effort get's considered as 'Poxy' Our waterways are under huge strain as it is with all the human waste that is drugs that gets passed through the system and into our Rivers. The pill is just one,there are many others that are wiping our rivers clean of life. So good luck to the Newts, hope you make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten minutes of rough Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 It must be impossible for Mum, as she has the need to look after her son, and reassure him, but the leaving him causes him a great deal of distress too, as she states. There should be a more local facility surely that can cope with this type of patient, I just wonder if the distance is to put off regular visits? Very sad.
