Campaign to Save Hayward House Daycare Saves Hayward House Daycare!

We have been told that DAYCARE IS NOW NOT CLOSING

and that patients have been given letters of apology from the NHS.  The details are still unclear, and we don't know if/when referrals will recommence or whether there will be any substantial changes.  It is possible that patients with other life-limiting illnesses will in future be referred to Hayward House too, to be treated by experts in palliative care for cancer patients, thus reducing the number of cancer patients receiving the treatment.  If so, we don't know whether there will be any increase in staffing. 

Campaigners are mighty relieved, but still wary.  And angry.  We want to find out who was responsible for the very serious distress that was caused to current patients. 

The campaign is therefore continuing and will still meet on Monday evening at Carlton Fire Station (7pm), and we hope to be able to issue a proper press release after that. 

We'd all like to say an enormous thanks to everyone who has supported this campaign, and urge you not to go to sleep yet, as we are still unsure of future plans.  But thanks to all.  If you have any filled petition sheets, we'd  like to have them back as they will strengthen our voice when talking to the NHS - please send them to the address on the bottom of the sheet or contact me.

This campaign has been self-organised by patients, carers and volunteers.
