Meeting

Meeting was great. Ethel has now taken on Sue's case, it was Ethel that told the CJP they could not move Sue to Montrose. I am so pleased that she listened to our concerns and acted on them. Ethel you rock.

She explained why Sue is on the CJP books and why she will stay on them and it is to do wiht funding. How hard was that fot the CJP to explain to us, let see not very but they chose not to.

So the hunt is on for accommodation for Sue and she may move as far away as Orange, but if the placement is right i do not care if i have to travel further to see her.

Ethel has said that Sue will never be placed in a surbian model that she will be placed in either the Riverside, Westmead or one of the other two models that are more like where she currently lives.

We also discussed Sue's rapid aging and she said she had noticed that and will ask to get Sue assessed as to whether the aged care placement at the Central coast may be on the cards for Sue at some stage.

So all in all a good meeting
