Act now before time runs out


byFaiza Afeaal


PEOPLE in the Ribble Valley could lose out on thousands, of pounds when Government


.rules on recovering care home fees change in September. Currently, the cost of continuing


health care for relatives in nursing homes is being reimbursed on as­ sessment for many local families and a wrong assessment can still be challenged. The Government, however, has


now set a deadline of September 30th for submission of claims for fees paid up to March 31st, 2011. They have added a further six months to March 31st, 2013, for


wick, of national company Iniqui- tas Care, which is currently recov-- Bring large amounts of care home fees across the country, said that many local residents do not know about this deadline. . “People really do need to act


claims on fees paid between April 1st, 2011 and March 31st, 2012. Janet Geldard, from Bamolds-


before time runs out,” she stated. “We have found that the aver­


, light years that when they require nursing care they are forced to


age amount paid out in care home fees is around £60,000 per family. This is paid by people who have worked hard, saved for a rainy day, paid taxes and contributed to the economy. “Then they find.in their twi-


use their savings and their homes to pay for fees which should have been paid by the NHS.” Janet added that the problem


began when primary care trusts were not all given the same as­ sessment criteria on continuing health care by the NHS. “This has resulted in hundreds of thousands of people being wrongly assessed when it came to paying nursing home fees,” she saidt. “Yes, we are a Commercial


organisation and, yes, we are naturally concerned as a result. However, there is a bigger con­ cern here about large amounts of money being lost to families at a time when they can ill afford it - all because they weren’t aware of a deadline.”


Give blood and help to save lives


THE next local blood donor ses­ sions for Ribble Valley take place on Friday, August 24th, at West Bradford Village Hall. They run from 2 to 4 p.m. and


CHIPPING has done its blooming best... now comes the long wait to find out if it was enough. Tw o sets of judges, from North


West in Bloom and Britain in Bloom, visited the picturesque village within five days of each other and both left with positive comments about Chippinq's efforts. But it will be October before the results will be announced -


for Britain in Bloom, in Guernsey, and the 25th for North West in Bloom, in Southport. "Both sets of judges were really


impressed with our Wildflower and Wildlife Meadow Project," said Chipping in Bloom chairman Barry Durham. "They could not believe what the


whole village had achieved in just nine months." The North West in Bloom


judges were so impressed that they have put Chipping fonward for a discretionary award for horticultural achievement. It was not just the Meadow


the 6th


Project that brought appreciative comments from the judges, however. The bumblebee and butterfly haven on the village green, the bus stop beds, the flower barrels, the vintage farm cart and the wool-lined mangers all left a lasting impression. The judges were enthusiastically


greeted by members of the gardening clubs of both St Mary's and Brabin's schools as they were given a guided tour of the mini­


allotments and greenhouses. The display of vintage agricultural


implements by Ron Marginson on the village green also proved to be a hit, as it turned out that judge Roger Biirnett, chairman of the Royal Horticultural Society Britain in Bloom judging panel, also collects them! Afterwards he thanked the Bloom


Group for its hospitality and said that the real winiiers were the residents of Chipping. "You have done a wonderful


job.and thoroughly deserve the accolades you have already w on," he told the gathering. But he would not be drawn on


Chipping's chances of another gold medal however, so there's no option but to wait and see.


blood donations tend to dip. For example, during the two weeks of Wimbledon they dipped by 3%


5 to 7-30 p.m. and organisers are hoping for a bumper turnout of existing and new donors to replen­ ish blood stocks. During major national events,


blood remains high. It is used not only in accident and emergency situations, but also for patients undergoing surgery and receiving treatment for cancer and blood diseases, such as leukaemia. Cur­


and with the Olympic Games tak­ ing place it is predicted that blood stocks could be significantly lower than usual. This is on top of the usual summer dip when many peo­ ple take their holidays. Yet the demand for donated


rently 7,000 units of blood are needed eveiy day to help save the lives of sick and injured patients across England and North Wales. Anyone aged from 17 to 65, weighing more than 50 kg (7 stone 121bs) and in general good health can become a donor. There is no upper age limit for those who have donated in the past two years. • To book an appointment, call
