Our Whittlesey & District NHW Group are doing many of the projects contained in this Newsletter.

Today I joined 61 others in March to exchange information on who and how District and County Councils can support the community in what is and will be a major concern.
As we all know how all fuel prices have increased with much more to come.

I was as usual the only member of the public to attend – everyone elese was a paid member of a Council or Government Agency.
My input was appreciated and hopefully I can feed back to Whittlesey Town Council on some of the support which is there now and for the future.

Representations by a County Councillor, a Whittlesey Town Councillor and a member of the Saxongate Community Group at this planning meeting.

I won’t even attempt to explain how this works — The overall funder for Peterborough & Cambs used to be The CCG (Combined Clinical Group) somehow/someone has decided a ‘new’ group need to be formed (Cost) – and is now to be called The ICS (Intregated Care System) in control of a £1 Billion +++  budget.
All most of us want is to be looked after by our Care/medical system.
Below – good reading if you can understand it – is the communication from the ICS>

My source came via FDC communications.
Maybe read the story that John Ellworthy has written in the Cambs Times….
