Challenging NHS continuing care in Wales
Published 27 July 2012
On 19 June 2012, BBC Wales televised a 'Week in Week out' documentary about the on-going battle Helen Jones experienced to obtain NHS funded continuing healthcare for her mother who had dementia.
BBC Wales News has also covered the story.
Helen has vowed to do her utmost to change the system so that other families in her position should not have to endure the same experience. Her passion and determination to succeed is incredible. Helen has also set up a campaign page on facebook you can visit to find out more.
Alzheimer's Society is supporting Helen to publicise her petition, which asks the Welsh Government to amend the criteria which can restrict a person with dementia's ability to secure NHS funded continuing healthcare.
Sign up to the petition now on the National Assembly of Wales website. Please support the petition and share it with as many people as you can - together, we really can make a difference.
