8th March 2011 - Lack of posts/Meeting with a member of the Government

Apologies for the above, however I have spent the day 'prepping' for a pre-arranged telephone conversation with Her Majesty's Minister of State for Housing, one requested and made by him and which lasted 30 minutes!

Among the subjects covered were Sheltered Housing; the removal of Wardens from that environment; Housing Associations; Regulatory Housing Authorities; care for the elderly and vulnerable; and Local Authority involvement.

The outcome of this telephone conversation was that he would grant me an audience (sorry, meeting) to discuss what is wrong with the Coalition's policies towards care of the elderly and vulnerable members of our society and how what is wrong could be changed for the better - said meeting to be arranged through his Diary Manager (and those working no doubt wish they all had one of those funded by the public purse!)

Result!*

* Ok, yes any suggestions have to be adopted - but at least I have a 'foot in the door'!

F,etc: Thanks very much - it obviously pays to be a pain in the rear!
