Yesterday I received a text from NHS telling me I could now register on the Government Vulnerable site. This comes after being told in a letter (received on 2 April) telling me to stay home for at least 12 weeks, and several text messages, the last being 16 th April, telling me I would be able to register on Government Vulnerable site in one week. So 3 weeks ago.
I have no idea how registering will benefit me. I haven’t been able to get any supermarket to put me on their priority list so far. Not that I am concerned as I have been getting delivery from local restaurant / butcher / deli, that had the foresight to diversify in order to be able to stay in business. They have been excellent in the service they provide.
As an aside, I looked at my online medical record, and noticed on 24th April, an admin assistant at the GP surgery had placed a note on my record stating I was ‘seriously frail’. I am still trying to get to the reason for that decision, as although I do have several medical conditions, I am healthier than I have been for at least 25 years, Independent, all conditions under control, and passing the memory tests with no errors. I need to know what the implications will be for this categorisation. Also, would have thought this decision ought to have been after discussion with me, and a clinically trained practitioner.
