Hi, My name is Tracy Ryman I have a 10yr old daugher with diabetes. She currently has 6 injections per day & was due to go on an insulin pump. Due to NHS welfare cuts her DSN is SO overworked & she is unable to give the care that is needed, so all insulin pump starts have been cancelled. It does not stop there, 24/7 hr care stopped, school/home visit stopped or curbed & lots more. We have started a facebook campaign, have only been going 3 day and have almost 780 people join. We are going to see our MP Mr Gummer on Friday, have been on BBC Suffolk radio today & going back on there on 4.7.11. PLEASE HELP click on the link, allow page to open & Join & send to as many friends as possible. Many thanks from a very desperate mum x
 
Tracy,

Being local and attending the hospital in question... and having had my own application for a Pump turned down you have my full support.

I have to say generally the HCP's at the hospital in question have been very good... the consultant I am now under is excellent, but they need the funding to provide a decent standard of care and cutting back on care to the most vulnerable is frankly outrageous.
 
My daughter attends the same hospital, we were there yesterday actually and it was chokka!!!!

I will join the FB group, let me know if there is anything else i can do to help
 
Hi, Fully support your campaign.

Unfortunaetly, round these parts there is no 24/7 care (other than A+E) or school visits either. I hate to say it, but they may be pulling everybody else down to this level. I do have a pump, but went for over 6 months between attached to it, and my first check up.

This forum helps so much
