Look out for #SaveOrchardClose on this mornings Sunday Politics South show with coverage of last Weds Decision Day farce. (If you want to watch make sure you are tuned into the non HD BBC1 South as regions don't feature on the HD channel!)
Parent carers after decision made to delay deciding future of #OrchardClose on #HaylingIsland - a respite home for adults with learning disabilities. Cllr Liz Fairhurst says they want to explore different funding options but the carers say the delay creates anxiety.
Decision day for @hantsconnect on #OrchardClose respite centre in #HaylingIsland Five parent carers from @SaveOrchard making a deputation. Recommendation to delay decision until autumn while alternative funding considered. Parents say that will be too stressful.
We collectively need to make sure that parents who don’t happen to be *actually studying public law* are able to enforce their family’s rights...#SEND
Best tweet of the days event definitely goes to @EmilyKHudson #Irony
A number of the parent carers who've come to hear the opinions on the future of #OrchardClose on Hayling Island and are now hearing councillors questions are having to leave as they don't have care this afternoon for their adult child with learning disabilities. #Irony
Cllr David Harrison (Lib-Dem) says he is concerned about potential legal challenge & has said "enough is enough" when it comes to budget cuts. #OrchardClose He supports @CllrCarpenter in rejecting closure. @SaveOrchard @hantsconnect
I don’t ask anything of you my twitter friends but please could you give this awesome place a follow?They offer respite care for adults with learning disabilities but are now at risk of closure. I would appreciate it greatly if you follow @SaveOrchard & share this post for me 💕
Cllr Jane Frankum (LAB) says we need to send recommendation back and say look again - maybe with a view to working with charity/other authority to keep #OrchardClose open. @SaveOrchard @hantsconnect
Councillors on adult social care scrutiny committee @hantsconnect vote against a recommendation to close #OrchardClose respite centre on #HaylingIsland It's a big victory for @saveorchard carers group. That is now sent to the cabinet member for decision on Weds 27th Feb.
Alternative motion from @CllrCarpenter put forward "The committee are unconvinced about the closure of #OrchardClose and asks the council to look for other ways to make savings or alternative ways to fund the facility" @SaveOrchard @hantsconnect
🚨 Voted down! 🚨 Councillors on adult social care scrutiny committee @hantsconnect vote against recommendation to close #OrchardClose respite centre on #HaylingIsland A big victory for @saveorchard carers group 👏 Cabinet will make a final decision on 27th Feb 🗓
Six months!!! When some took years to get used to it to start with! Six months is nothing. #SaveOrchardClose
So it’s down to a categorisation issue? That’s what they are basing their decision on? Surely all people in this situation require respite care at some point?
The idea of working with @portsmouthtoday and West Sussex County Council raised. #Portsmouth has its own facilities - albeit Russetts in Hilsea does have @CareQualityComm "requires improvement" rating. @SaveOrchard @hantsconnect
