Do you know of any unpaid carers in Horley?

‘This year the High Sheriff of Oxfordshire is Mrs Sarah Taylor.  She has chosen to make her theme for the year the plight of unpaid carers in Oxfordshire.  Apparently, across the county there are very many people who have been forced to give up work in order to care for someone else.  She is working with a group called Carers Oxfordshire, whose role is to provide support to people working as unpaid carers.

The parish council is not aware of anyone in this position, but if there is and they would like to speak to Carers Oxfordshire, if they contact me I will put them in touch.’ David Marriott

Your Chance to give input to the NHS Consultation for Oxfordshire

This could have a significant impact on the future of the Horton Hospital

‘A number of the proposals will be of more interest to people living in the north of the county and neighbouring areas. Some of the proposals have a wider impact and so we are keen to encourage people from across Oxfordshire and surrounding areas to give their views. We also welcome the views of our voluntary sector partners, groups representing particular communities, other public bodies and staff in health and care organisations’.

The Oxfordshire’s health and care services – The Big Consultation – Phase 1 is available  here.

You can access the consultation documents here and an the online patient experience survey here.
