Dear Editor,

When I was walking along the beach, near the

lifeboat station at Mundesley, I found the upper
set of somebodys dentures.
They were of very high quality and must have
been expensive.
Please could you put a mention in your next
edition please as I would like to return them
to their owner.
Kind regards,
Jayne Youngs
Telephone: 01603 630 709

Dear Editor,

Kathryn Moor pointed out that (in her opinion)

the plants on Mundesley sea front were not up
to standard this year.
However she forgot to point out the fabulous
attempt by the gardeners to bring us something
different this year.

Dear Editor,
With regard to the letter about signage in
Crab Tales Issue 065 from S. Austin.
If they had looked at the sign properly they
would have seen that it points down the
slope to the beach.
At the bottom of the slope on the promenade
there is another sign pointing now in the right
direction.
I hope this clears up any confusion for
visitors to sunny Overstrand,
(even those from Cromer)
Derek Hiscock

The flower and turf clock may not be in full

bloom yet, but it does look like it will be
quite spectacular by the time the summer
visitors arrive.

Dear Liz,

In response to the article Maritime Sayings in

yoiur last issue: Pipe Down refers.
The Pipe is a Bosuns Pipe not a Bowsons Pipe.
I know for I had to use one when I was the
Quartermaster In H.M.S. Ladybird,the Royal
Navy Headquarters Ship in the Korean War.
The title Bosun was originally Boatswain who
was a foreman of the ships crew.
The Ships Quartermaster with the Officer of the
Watch are responsible for the daily routine of
the ship. There are different pipings for the
changes in the ships routine, e.g. Stand
Easy when the ships company have a 15 min.
break mid morning & afternoon, Clear Lower
Deck when the ships company lines up on pay
day, Hands to Make & Mend, a half day to get
all your clothes washed and ironed.
The Royal Navy was well organised.
Regards.
Wyndham Northam.

Dear Editor,

their annual Arts, Crafts and Photography
Exhibition on Saturday 10th October.
This year is the third and we hope to make it
bigger and better than before.
We are seeking Artists & photographers wishing
to exhibit their work, crafters / sculptors etc.
who wish to book a table to exhibit.
Hanging boards are available for exhibiting.
For an application form please contact the

email the chairman: jeabol@aol.com

Dear Liz,

Mr & Mrs Morris who rescued (& adopted) Sid

three years ago said they are great followers of
the Crab Tales and would love Sid to feature.

Dear Liz,

I have to object to Miranda Marshalls article

under the heading Help for Heroes.
Her answer to the question: Why is the Duke of
Westminster one of the richest men in Britain?
My answer: As per Leaseholder summer 2010:
The more likely reason for the governments
lack of concern for the countrys 3 million leaseholders is the generous support provided to the
Conservative Party by leading billionaire landlords, including the Duke of Westminster, the
Earl of Cadogan & the Marquess of Salisbury.
To compare Fusilier Lee Rigby with the Duke
of Westminster is ABHORRENT.
I am not aware of any other country who still has
leasehold properties. As usual Scotland is way
ahead and abolished leasehold over a decade ago!
(I am not Scottish).
Obviously it is not in the interest of the current
Conservative government to reform the current
situation but to continue with the 12th century
feudal system.
A typical local example of a building being
exploited by a freeholder is Trafalgar Court,
Mundesley, which currently has its third
Receiver/Manager!!
My understanding is that all other buildings
in Europe are controlled by the flat owners
community committee. Hopefully one day
the leaseholders will get democracy like
the rest of Europe!
Alan Roper

Dear Editor,

I write on behalf of the Chairman, John Needham,

and members of the Cromer & District Branch
of the Royal British Legion to express our sincere
thanks to everyone who contributed to our Armed
Forces Day exhibition on 27th June 2015.
We thank Brigadier Max Marriner who opened
our event & presented the prize to our childrens
poster competition winner: Leah Banning.
We thank our exhibitors, for a first class display,
the RBL Womens section for the excellent
refreshments, and J B Postles of Cromer, for
the loan of a television and DVD player
which enabled us to put on a film show.
A special thanks goes to all of the members of
the public, both locals and visitors, who visited
the exhibition and showed their support for our
Armed Forces, both past and present.
Yours sincerely,
Robin Lilley
Vice Chairman.

Sid, named after Sid Vicious, travels with the

Morris when the come to stay at Links Caravan
Park from Caister. He was out for his walk on the
cliff top and can be seen there from time to time.
Hes rather partial to chicken skins and not
impressed with cat or dog food; a hedgehog
that knows the finer things of life.
Nth Norfolk might be looking for a dog to prove
the county dog friendly. Sid can assure you that
Mundesley, The Links Caravan Park & Grays
ice cream parlour opposite the Mundesley coast
watch tower are all hedgehog friendly.
Apparently he is rather partial to Paula the owner
of the parlour... but she hasnt let on his
favourite flavour of ice cream!
All the Best
Kathryn Moore

Dear Editor,

I hope many of your readers will now know by

now of the Medieval Spectacular to take place
in fields around Erpingham Church on the 12th
& 13th September, where with the help of the
re-enactment group Black Night Historical
we will bring to life the 600th anniversary
of the battle of Agincourt when Sir Thomas
Erpingham led his long bow archers to a
major victory for Henry V over the French.
Can I through the CrabTales invite ANY
TRADERS (not refreshment traders) who
would like to take part to contact us on:
01263 768 209 for application forms
and further information.
We expect 4,000 - 6,000 people possibly many
more with good weather. The cost is 60 for the
weekend for a pitch up to 6 metres frontage.
Any CHARITIES are invited to book a pitch
for a reduced price of 20 for the weekend.
Any money raised will go to the installation of
a toilet and kitchenette at Erpingham Church
and urgent repairs to plaster and windows.
Yours sincerely
Helen Burrell
(Chairman of the Events Committee)

Dear Editor,

A Big fan of No 1 chip shop gets stuck in the

bin after eating too many chips!

Dear Liz & Philip,

In February, Sheringham & Cromer Lions Club

held their annual end of Lionistic Year meeting
where retiring President Lion Derick Bowler,
handed over the position of President to our
new President Lion Anton Elliott, who has
been our Lion President twice.
We also made donations to the East of England
Air Ambulance of 500.00 and The N. & N.
Association for the Blind, who will receive
a cheque of the value of 1050.00
We would wish to thank everyone who has
supported us in any way, with putting much
appreciated cash in our collecting tins on the
street, or outside the various stores, plus any
other events which we held.
We do assure everyone, that every penny you
contribute does go to local charities.
Events taking place soon include our tombola
stand and other items at the Cromer Carnival.
The vintage car show at Beeston Fields, and at
Mannington Hall Show.
A new event in September for all the family, on
Sunday 13th Sept, will be a Family Car Treasure
Hunt, starting from Sheringham at approx 1:30
-2.00pm.

Hes got good taste but will have to go on a

diet to get out of that tight squeeze

I did not count the number of carts taking part,
nor the number of riders, but I can safely say
that there was a fantastic turnout on the day
of everyone involved.
This was the first of many years to come and
a brilliant additional Event for the Cromer
Carnival, to be enjoyed by every one of
the hundreds who turn out.

The overall winner, pictured in front above, of

the successful racer, was the White Horse Inn
cart, built by Steve Barber, with the help and
advice of Adrian Newey who is better known
for helping to design the current winning F1
car for Lewis Hamiltons team.

All Saints Church

In Mundesley on sea held their annual summer

fete on the cliff top on Saturday 11th July.

Bond Street, Cromer. tel: 01263 512 320

e.mail: brownescromer@g.mail.com
Open: Monday - Saturday 8.30am - 4.30pm

The weather was wonderful, with lots of sun

and a light breeze to cool everybody down.
The fete which raises money for All Saints
church funds, was very well attended and
we did well financially.
All visitors enjoyed themselves - BBQ,
tea and cakes and lots of stalls to enjoy
themselves.
A balloon making man was entertaining the
children by creating balloon characters for
them and Police dogs were there as well as
the coast guards and the Fire brigade.
Many children enjoyed going into the fire
engine to see what it is like.
We also had the Sutton jazz band to play
for us during the event.

Thanks to Pam Walters for this report

and the pictures.

The Calm Woods

Written by the Friends of the Belfry
Primary School:

Andrew Howes (Solomon & Ezras dad), Martin

Steward (Raife & Rosies dad) and Joel Neale
of Neale Building Services (Roses dad).
Andrew built the wonderful tee-pee.

Thanks to everyone who came along to the grand

opening of The Calm Woods.
The area is now fully open and available for the
children to use. It is a wonderful space full of
lovely areas for the children to develop their
knowledge of wildlife and sustainability.
It has been hard work for us all but seeing the
children using this space makes it all worthwhile.
It was a lovely time to celebrate all the effort
that has gone in to making it such a success
and those of you who were there will already
know that we have even won an award from
the Norfolk Biodiversity Partnership in their
Inspiring Others category.
We cant wait to attend the awards ceremony
to receive our award!

Above: Charlotte Dorner, the winner of the sign

design,who opened the Woods.
The Friends, Charlotte Frary, Caroline Dickens
and Emma Allright, would like to thank all the
parents and children who have helped out on
the gardening days but also especially thank
some very generous skilled parents who gave
up a considerable amount of their time.

Tea, Cakes And

Speeches

Their expertise has meant that the whole area

has turned out to be so much more than just a
wildlife garden

Facebook

Presently, I am trying to make friends

outside of facebook while applying
the same principles.
Therefore every day, I go down on the street
and tell the passers-by what I have eaten, how
I feel, what I have done the night before, and
what I will do after, I give them pictures of
my family, my dog and me gardening and
spending time in my pool.

On Tuesday 14th July Northrepps Primary School

hosted their second successful Afternoon Tea
and 61 people attended the event.

Oak Class pupils read their speeches to the

visitors to gain confidence and the visitors
gave their feedback.

The Head Teacher Mrs Hamilton helped to

organise the Afternoon Tea along with the
Friends of Northrepps Primary School.
The Year 2s were being trained ready for next
year; they took orders and carried cups of tea
to the visitors.
There was a raffle to win fabulous prizes and a
guess how many sweets in the jar they raised
over 100 for school trips etc.

I also listen to their conversations

and I tell them I love them.
And it works :
I already have 3 followers :
2 police officers and
a psychiatrist.
Thanks to Sylvia for this

Aylsham Country
Market

Its forty years since the first Victoria Sandwich

was sold at Aylshams Country Market! In those
days it was known as the WI Market (and many
people still call it this) but it subsequently adopted
the Country Market banner, part of the nationwide
cooperative social enterprise which boasts 300
branches from Penzance in Cornwall up to
Ponteland in Northumberland and as far
west as St Davids in Wales.
On Friday 7th August, Aylsham Country Market
will be celebrating its 40 year anniversary with a
special morning from 8.30am-noon in the Town
Hall featuring an array of tasters & special events,
all open to the public. An Anniversary Cake will
be ceremoniously cut by one of the Markets
founder members, while current members will
enjoy a lunch after the Market has closed.
On Friday 31st July, youngsters are being invited
to the Market to help make paper bunting which
will be strung up in the Town Hall on 7th August.
There will also be a fun quiz to take away and
bring back with the answers, on the 7th with
a lovely prize for one lucky winner.

Brazilian dishes, alongside plants,

flowers, vegetables and a wide
selection of crafts, from greetings
cards to knitted goods.
One thing that hasnt changed is the
commitment to quality, homemade
and home produced.

Nowadays produce on offer at Aylsham Country

Market goes far beyond the Victoria sponges
and jars of jam that were the staple of 1970s.
These are of course still available but in addition
you are likely to find quiches, steak & mushroom
pies, carrot cakes and a very recent addition

Ten Years After

The dust, soot and sh*t had barely settled; the

spilt blood not fully congealed, before the first
conspiracy theories of the 7/7 bombing outrage
started issuing forth.
These are some Ive come across only today in
going back over these outrageous and harrowing
events and, in relaying them, well, that is all Im
doing - relaying them - NOT lending any credence
to, or endorsing, them. Some are nothing short
of fantasy while others are quite feasible.

The theories naturally follow the chronology of

the fateful day - not as far back as Leeds before
4am that morning - but in Luton where a monochrome still frame from a CCT camera shows the
bombers together. It is claimed that this is a very
crudely Photoshopped montage (was there a Photoshop app back in 2005?) with railings going
behind the head of one of them BUT in front
of his arm.
They then allegedly caught the 07.40 Thameslink
service from Luton to Kings Cross BR Station.
The conspiracy theorists counter claim was that
the 07.40 was cape (Railway telegraphic code
for cancelled) that day so they had to catch,
instead, the 07.48 departure which didnt arrive
at Kings X BR until 08.42 - clearly not in time
to meet the explosion schedule.
The three bombers all caught London Underground
trains from Kings Cross - one an Eastbound Circle
Line Train 204 - comprising six car C69/C77
surface stock while the 2nd bomber caught
another Circle Line 6 car C69/C77 surface stock
unit, once more, but this time Westbound Train 216.
Finally, the third perpetrator caught an actual
TUBE train comprising a 6 car 1973 stock
Piccadilly Line (deep level) Southbound
service - unit 311.
204 was barely out of Liverpool Street before
the bomb was set off and, as the smoke & noise
of the explosion blew back into this station,
subsequent waiting passengers took flight
from Eastbound Platform 1 from whence
the doomed train had just departed.
Im sure many of us have waited for trains
at this very spot?

10

Comparative sizes between Tube stock

& (sub)Surface stock
This explosion has, nevertheless, always been
referred to as the Aldgate bomb.
Passengers in the affected car make mention of
the floor being raised up - flew up - from
the force of the detonation yet blasts *blow*
not *suck* - an explosion NOT an implosion
- which suggests that the blast was from a
pre-planted device OUTSIDE of the train
between the running rails - and a powerful
military device, at that.
I mentioned, earlier, theories nothing short of
fantasy, one such being the suggestion of a
linear induction ballistic weapon running along
and powered by the 630 DC volts of the 3rd
& 4th conductor rails... incredible.
More fantasy...
It was claimed, then denied, that timer components
were found in the debris of each of the 3 trains
and that the bombers werent even on board but
the devices planted, abandoned and fired by three
synchronised mobile phone alarm timers.
They couldnt have been fired by dialling the
mobile phones remotely as network signals
will not work below ground.
This particular incredible theory continues that
the alleged bombers were mere Patsies - eager
radicalized fanatics who were recruited, murdered
elsewhere and their various body parts scattered
amongst the wreckage of the 3 different trains
by government agencies to uphold the
suicide bomber claims.
Supposedly, at the time, there was an interview
on BBC Radio 5 Live concerning a crisis management exercise in National security and a
simulation drill - based on simultaneous bombs
going off precisely at these very same three
underground stations - where it happened
in reality. This was subsequently conveniently
brushed aside and written off as a spooky
coincidence.
The whole idea behind the claims of the conspiracy
theory was for the Government to foster bad blood

& hatred towards Muslim extremists & terrorists,

as such, and gain public approval and support
for PM Blairs Iraq War? The same claims had
previously been put forward by certain elements
regarding the NY Twin Towers destruction.
One question that I ask, myself, is why, to effect
maximum casualties, did ALL the bombings not
take place on deep level TUBE trains. Most of
the tube lines - Central, Bakerloo, Northern and
the Piccadilly go through the West End and
are so often crowded with tourists.
Not only this but, being at such a deep level 100ft plus - they would have been much harder
to evacuate and rescue casualties from and, as
there is much tighter clearance - only 6 inches
- between the smaller tube rolling stock and
the tunnel roof (hence the name tubes), the
confined space would have concentrated the
blast force as it indeed did on the Piccadilly
Line approaching Russell Square.
Whereas, in the much wider cut-&-cover tunnels
of the Circle, District & Metropolitan and City
Lines, with parallel running tracks sharing the
same common tunnel and only 7 metres below
street level, blast force was more easily dissipated
and better rescue access gained.
Thank goodness this didnt happen or
the casualties would have been far,
far greater in number.
Whatever and however, sadly the victims still lost
their lives and, of those whose physical injuries
mended, their minds never will, completely,
and the broken hearts, of loved ones left
behind, will ever remain broken.
With my thoughts and deepest sympathy to all
involved in the atrocities of that dreadful day;
in fact all who have died or been maimed
needlessly in misplaced ideology or
fanatical religious beliefs or fervour.
Incidentally, my daughter was running early that
morning so caught one train ahead of 204 and,
as she was leaving Blackfriars station, all the
barriers automatically flew open and the lights
extinguished with the power surge caused by
the near simultaneous blasts.

forward to support the 7/7/2005 bombings

Mundesley Hospital

The Hospitals chequered past has seen it empty

for five years, but now Hope Community, has
leased the building to turn it into a holistic centre
for wellbeing and will offer, arts, yoga & drama,
as well as traditional NHS-funded clinical care,
for mental health conditions including bi-polar
and dementia.

Colour therapist Mark Wentworth has come on

board as head of holistic therapies, and said he
would like to see the refurbished centre set a
model of care.

The exterior paintwork on the grade-two listed

building has been stripped back, and lead-based
paint replaced. Inside walls have been painted
with carefully chosen colours to enhance the
healing process, with peaches, greens & pinks
and each room has an en suite bathroom.
Funded by a group of private investors, there
will be space for about 38 patients.
While the hospital will primarily treat people
with different degrees of mental ill-health, its
facilities, including an education centre,
would be available for the public.
In addition to arts & drama, the hospital will
have care staff, including a full-time clinical
director and psychiatrists.

The History of Mundesley Hospital

The Hospital was the first large Tuberculosis
centre in England built specifically for open-air
treatment of the disease. The Norfolk coast was
selected as its air was thought to be extremely
bracing and clear, with a large amount of
sunshine and very small rainfall.
As a private hospital, it could only offer treatment
to wealthy patients. The weekly charge of 5.5s,
did not include personal laundry, alcohol, or
extra nursing if required.
For those who could manage it, participation in
convalescent activities was encouraged.
A point was made of weighing all the food eaten
to prescribe the amount of the different food stuffs
according to the condition of the patient and
the exercise taken.

12

A golf course was established in 1901 which

was designed as a form of gentle exercise for
the patients of the sanatorium.
In 1905 Dr Sydney Vere Pearson, a specialist in
TB became the Medical Superintendent and he
built the business up with the help of increasing
government support for sanatorium treatment
and continued to run the sanatorium until
after the WW II.

During 1923 a large extension was built on right

south east corner of the wooden building, and a
smaller single storey extension on the east side.
Dr. George Day became medical superintendent
of the sanatorium in 1935, where he learnt the
importance of morale and spirit for recovery
and developed psychological insights that he
put to good use in the Royal Army Medical
Corps during the war, helping shell shocked
soldiers to recover.
At that time the sanatorium could accommodate
80 patients. Treatment cost 5 guineas a week or
6 or 7 guineas for rooms of a higher quality.
Day developed a therapeutic overhaul known
locally as a Mundesley Special.
A therapeutic overhaul is the reverse of the
ordinary physical examination in that one is
seeking good rather than evil things, glad
tidings and not bad news.
During World War II, Mundesley sanatorium
temporarily moved to Cheshire, only returning
to Gimingham after hostilities had ceased.
The golf course was also reduced to nine holes
when land was required for wartime farming.

In the late 1940s, huge advancements regarding

the treatment of TB and a potential cure made.
In 1943 Albert Schatz discovered streptomycin,
an antibiotic and the first cure for tuberculosis
and sanatoria began to close.
By the fifties, convalescent treatment for TB was
deemed unnecessary and in 1957 the sanatorium
was officially adopted by the NHS and became
a convalescence and rehabilitation unit in 1960
Day continued as medical director, with the aim
to enable patients to discover, by increasing their
activity, how well they could become so that they
went home full of confidence founded on actual
experience. The philosophy of his team was to
help people to stop being patients. He strongly
opposed keeping them in uncertainty and in the
role of patient by unnecessary follow up or
exhortations to be careful. He retired in 1965.
July 1973 saw the erection of remedial treatment
block. The physiotherapy department was built
in 1975, then the rehabilitation unit in 1977 and
the construction of a sewerage pumping station
in 1979. In early 1980s, permission was granted
for the construction of a physiotherapy unit to
the west of the original building.
At the time of its closure in 1992 it was used as
a rehabilitation unit with facilities including
physiotherapy, occupational therapy, remedial
gymnastics and speech therapy.
After falling into disrepair, the Sanatorium was
purchased by Adapt Ltd and underwent a huge
refurbishment in 1997 and re-opened as the
Diana Princess of Wales Treatment Centre
for Drug and Alcohol Problems.
After a successful bid for the site and extensive
regional fund raising, the project proceeded. It
took around 1 million & 34 weeks to refurbish
the site but due to a lack of funding, administrators
were called in during summer 2008 and the clinic
was closed in 2009.
The centre was bought that year by homeopath
Eveline Herzer but did not reopen and went
back on the market the following summer
with a 1.3m guide price.

Footprints on the Sands of Time

A History of Worstead

Written by Peter Brice and illustrated by

Stefan Ganther to commemorate the fiftieth
anniversary of the Worstead Festival.

Peter Brice, formerly the first Principal of

Paston Sixth Form College, bought White
Cottage in Worstead in 1999.
Its fascinating deeds led him to delve into the
history of the parish. In 2012 the Lottery-funded
Spinning a Yarn in Worstead Project (led by
Stefan Ganther) joined with the Parish Council
and the Parochial Church Council to promote
Worsteads history. Four of us (Stefan Ganther,
Ron Barrett, the late Rosemary Rix, and Peter
Brice) created the Worstead Heritage Maps and
Trails, unveiled by Norman Lamb MP at that
years Worstead Festival. A book seemed the
logical next step.

About The Book

Peter argues that Worstead was a more significant

place than it might now appear and its unsung
history deserves to be much better known: its
Saxon origins; the giving of its name to worsted
cloth; the wealth from worsted-weaving that
financed the cathedral-sized St Marys Church
with its grand Perpendicular exterior and its
amazing rood screen; the lost parochial Chapel
of St Andrew; the role of Worstead men in the
Great Revolt of 1381; the advent of Worstead as
a market town on a par with Aylsham & North
Walsham; the creation of the unique Baptist settlement at Meeting Hill; the role of farming in forming the modern landscape; and much more.
Stefans lavish illustrations tell their own story
and encourage readers to investigate Worsteads
fine architectural heritage for themselves.
The cover features a graffito from the floor of the
ringing chamber of St Marys: the artist drew
round his shoe and wrote his initials JRW and
1848 within its outline. Who was JRW?
Footprints on the Sands of Time is to be launched
at the Worstead Festival on Saturday & Sunday
25th & 26th July and goes on general sale on
Monday 27th July at 9.95 from various local
outlets including Jarrolds and from the Parish
Council contact: clerk.worsteadpc@gmail.com
All the profits will be devoted to the charitable
work of the Worstead Amenity Trust.
Peter and Stefan are happy to talk to interested
groups on the history of Worstead or to lead
tours exploring the architecture of the
village centre.

The Care Act

Written by Miranda Marshall

Director at Hayes + Storr
The Care Act came into effect on 1st April
2015. It is a major & important reform and
will affect anyone living in England who
has care needs now and in the future.
The Wellbeing Principle is a new and
important concept.
It covers a wide range of factors including:
personal dignity; physical, mental & emotional
wellbeing; protection from abuse and neglect;
accommodation; family, domestic & personal
wellbeing. There is an attempt to recognise that
different people have different needs rather
than just considering which Local Authority
(LA) service they will fit into.
There is a move away from only providing
residential (i.e. care home) and domiciliary
(i.e. at home) care. There are a wide range
of assessment methods now available.
The important changes that you should
know about are:
The legal right to a Care Assessment. The LA
must provide this to anyone who appears to need
care or support. This is regardless of their finances
and even if they are paying for their own care.
If someone is eligible for support, a Support Plan
will be agreed and they will receive a Personal
Budget. It is important to have an assessment as
this will have an impact on how much one ends
up paying for care over a lifetime. It should
help people to plan their care and ensure
that they get the right support.
New means-testing thresholds. The LA will
arrange a financial assessment to decide what
someone can afford to contribute towards their
care costs.

Doctors Experiences
I was performing a complete physical, including
the visual acuity test.
I placed the patient twenty feet from the chart
and began: Cover your right eye with your
hand. He read the 20/20 line perfectly.
Now your left. Again, a flawless read.
Now both, I requested.
There was silence. He couldnt even read the
large E on the top line. I turned and discovered
that he had done exactly what I had asked; he
was standing there with both his eyes covered.
I was laughing too hard to finish the exam.
: Dr. Matthew Theodropolous, Worcester, MA

14

During a patients 2 week follow-up appointment

with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor,
that he was having trouble with one of his
medications.
Which one? I asked.

The thresholds are

118,000 if in a
care home and
27,000 if living
in their own home.
Below these thresholds
the financial contribution
decreases on a sliding
scale as assets get less.
There is also the
Minimum Income
Guarantee to ensure
that whatever is paid
towards care does not cause the persons
income to fall below a certain level.
Carers have a right to an assessment of their
needs. Anyone who provides unpaid care has
a right to this as a carer. If the carer is eligible
for support from the LA, a Support Plan will
be agreed and the carer should receive a
Personal Budget.
Other changes will only come in from 1st April
2016 and these will be explained in a further issue.
This article aims to supply general information,
but it is not intended to constitute advice.
Every effort is made to ensure that the law referred to is correct at the date of publication and
to avoid any statement which may mislead.
However no duty of care is assumed to any
person and no liability is accepted for any
omission or inaccuracy. Always seek our
specific advice.
If you require advice on this matter please

on: 01263 825 959.
For advice on any other legal matter please

The patch. The nurse told me to put on a new
one every six hours and now Im running out
of places to put it!
I had him quickly undress and discovered what
I hoped I wouldnt see. Yes, the man had over
fifty patches on his body!
Now the instructions include removal of the
old patch before applying a new one.
: Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk, VA
While acquainting myself with a new elderly
patient, I asked:How long have you been
bed-ridden?
After a look of complete confusion she
answered: Why, not for about twenty
years -- when my husband was alive.

The Hospital Removed The Heart Monitor

By Richard Barr
This is a true story. Only the names have
been changed.
When Mabels husband David had a mild heart
attack and was taken to a local hospital she felt
comfortable that he was in safe hands and would
be properly looked after especially as he had
been admitted to the cardiac care unit.
It was found that David had quite a serious
heart condition and he was listed for bypass
surgery at the local specialist hospital.
While he was waiting to be transferred for bypass surgery David unfortunately had 2 cardiac
arrests on one day but on both occasions he was
successfully resuscitated because the crash team
were able to attend to him immediately.
After that he seemed to improve but the hospital
staff wanted to make sure that if he had a further
cardiac arrest there would be an immediate alert.
He therefore had a telemetry device attached to
him so that he could move around the ward and
yet the staff would immediately be notified if
he had another incident.
A few days later (and for no apparent reason) the
staff removed the telemetry device and David was
left unmonitored. The following day he was found
lifeless in his hospital bed. No one knows how
long he had been left there (because he had not
been monitored) but it could have been anything
up to an hour.
By the time staff realised what had happened to
him he had only a very weak pulse and
resuscitation was unsuccessful.
He was pronounced dead.
Mabel was devastated.

They had been together for many years and were

very close. It was shattering to lose her husband
but all the more so when she found out that he
could have been saved if only the hospital had left
the monitoring device attached. Mabel asked
me to investigate her case.
Initially the hospital admitted that they were
negligent but at the same time they said that
David would not have been successfully
resuscitated even if they had reached him
quickly. Therefore they refused to pay
any compensation.
This response was clearly not satisfactory and
(with the support of an independent cardiology
expert) I issued proceedings on behalf of
Mabel against the hospital.
Instead of putting their hands up and agreeing to
compensate Mabel the hospital actually went
back on its word. They even denied that they
were at fault in any way.
Eventually under pressure of court proceedings
the hospital belatedly agreed to pay compensation
to Mabel.
Most hospitals do wonderful work for their
patients but every now and then something
goes badly wrong which should not have
done. The disappointing thing about Mabels
case is that the hospital considerably added
to her distress by changing their minds and
denying liability, thus forcing her into
starting court proceedings, a prospect
which she found absolutely terrifying!
The NHS complains about solicitors costs, but
by forcing Mabel to go through the process of
starting court proceedings, the costs in the case
(which the NHS had to pay) were far greater
than if they had agreed to settle the case in
the first place.

Sometimes you should just not take no for

an answer and I am happy to take cases all
the way to a court hearing if they cant be
sorted out in any other way.

away & it needs a
lot of time to come
to terms with this.

Regular Circus shows will be at 2pm each day

during their stay, so be sure to see this exciting
and entertaining live show right in the centre
of Mundesley.

I am looking for somebody on her/his own

(no children, cats or
dogs) to have quiet
Life together with
lots of cuddles.
My name is Oliver
and I am a 3-5
year old ginger/
white male.
I am getting on
with other cats
but I am a bit
shy at first with
human beings.

Circus Ferrel is also be sponsoring Mundesley

Festival on Friday 7th August with Olly Day.

Maybe thats the

reason why I am
still at the
cattery.
