@SandyofSuffolk I visited a friend last week who retired to Cyprus last year. He pays around £30 every 3 months for water & £90 a year in council tax. I’m paying £78 a month for water & £327 council tax. Food & fuel were also cheaper. As you can imagine he has no regrets about retiring there.

NHS continuing healthcare (CHC) can be a lifeline for people with dementia.

But too many families face a process that’s confusing, inconsistent, and unfair.

As part of our #FixTheFunding campaign, we’re joining 11 other charities calling on the Health Secretary to fix NHS CHC.
