Well done Hinchingbrooke....... but why did you need to help ?

My mother takes a Cancer drug and up to recently has had no problems in obtaining this via prescription
from the pharmacies in Huntingdon.
2 months ago, matters got so that one pharmacy could not get her required medication, so she went
elsewhere and then the drug was unobtainable there too, so she tried another and was informed that
"we can't get this anymore, go back to your G.P.........
So she did and the result ended where the prescription was raised and dispensed at Hinchingbrooke
hospital, so a big thank you to all at Woodlands and Pharmacy.

BUT......... WHY and WHO is responsible for the medication being unavailable at local pharmacies......

Is it the PCT or Drug Companies...........?

My mothers drug is expensive so perhaps it is the PCT saying NO.............OR
Could ot be the Drugs companies, refusing to supply branded drugs in small quantities to
pharmacies on the back of the "Generic Drugs" policy of the PCT.........

I will be writing to the PCT to get their feedback on this issue..............

Today...........26th August 2009...........My Father was also told a drug he takes for his Eyes is
unavailable, same scenario as my mother, he is now awaiting a call from his very helpful G.P

SO WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE ?

Who is on the "Stakeholder Panel"?

I have been asked this by many members of the public who have called me to find out the answer to the
question............


So will the Stakeholder Panel members.......Please Stand Up and identify themselves........!!!!!

I have not been invited to a member of the Panel.....so as the leader of the Campaign which stopped the closure
of Hinchingbrooke Hospital & opposed to the Ill Fated Option 2 (started but clearly proved not workable or
sustainable).......... my input in the process is not welcome

Thursday, August 20, 2009

From The BBC Website

"Before the process starts, an independently-chaired Stakeholder Panel is being set up to represent the interests of local people and Hinchingbrooke Hospital staff at every stage"

UNTIL THE SAVE HINCHINGBROOKE CAMPAIGN IS ON THE PANEL, LOCAL PEOPLE
WILL NOT BE REPRESENTED..........
We Have Never Been Away

Well the Campaign has not stopped, we have been busy, waiting in the wings for the Franchise process to be
announced.

We are now on Twitter to so follow us - http://twitter.com/SaveHinchNHS

We also have an Anti Franchise Petition which was signed by the people of Huntingdon to deliver to the Panel, with
a copy to No 10.....

There will be Public Meetings, where Panel members and M.P's as well as other speakers will be invited to
attend and these will be of the "Question Time" format.
