Tennyson Road Update
Lat month we reported how Surrey & Borders Partnership NHS Trust didnt have a monopoly on deliberately dithering over and delaying decisions at the expense of vunerable people and we can now report that thanks to the publicity raised about the threatened closure of the Tennyson Road residential home for people with MH issues by the Dunstable on Sunday newspaper including a scathing letter from fellow blogger Mandy who regularly comments on this blog, a decision has been made , albeit only a temporary one at the moment, to keep the Tennyson Road residential care home open.
Well done!
Its amazing what a little publicity can do to influence useless bureaucrats who excel in aquiring public money for themselves and making reckless and uncaring decisions in secret.

Thanks for sharing the story here.
It is a bit of good news. Maybe, without long term certainty but a little ray of sunshine is better than a continuous downpour.
I really hope the needs of the people in the home remain a priority, rather than politicians and health managers being preoccupied with their image and status.
I wonder what they would do if their homes were in threat? Obviously, not an issue because they are on very nice salaries..thank you very much taxpapers.
Yes, lets try to keep an eye on what happens to the Tennyson Road residential home and its residents , I'll drop the Dunstable on Sunday newspaper a line as well.
You are right about there being too many causes and too few people to take them up though. That's bad enough in most cases, but a real cause for concern in MH where people are subject to drastic moodswings and burn out really quickly.
