THE SHAKER Peterborough & District | May 2019 | Issue 35 Editor Ruth Brinkler-Long Raising awareness at Positively Parkinson’s See Pages 4-7 for article. Family Carers’ Prescription Would you like to take a break A Family Carers’ Prescription will give carers of any age (including young carers) registered with a GP surgery within the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) access to a specialist worker at Carers Trust Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Norfolk who will help you design a short break that works for you and they will also provide support for this break to happen. You help decide what gives you a break – it may be assistance going out with the person you care for, someone being with the person you care for whilst you do something or it could be something else. Are you caring for someone and feel emotionally or physically overwhelmed? This service is available to carers that are registered with a GP surgery within the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). Not sure if you are covered? Check with your GP Surgery Would you like to know: • Your rights? • About benefits you could be entitled to? • What’s available to support you? • What’s available to support the person you care for? How to get a prescription We want it to be as simple as possible for carers to access a Family Carers’ Prescription. There are 2 main routes to you getting a prescription: 1. Via your GP Surgery – You can go to your surgery or ask for a telephone appointment with a GP/member of staff at the practice to discuss your circumstances and what support you think you might need. Your Doctor will agree the prescription and contact the Carers Trust Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Norfolk. The surgery will record you are a family carer so that they can support you appropriately in the future. 2. Via Carers Trust Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Norfolk – If you find it difficult to speak with your GP, or for whatever reason don’t feel able to go to your surgery, contact one of our team who can talk you through what support we might be able to offer, and then we will contact your GP on your behalf to get the Family Carer’s Prescription authorised.

It is with great sadness that we pass on the news of the recent passing of former committee member Peter Ford O.B.E. Peter organised many outings for the branch and was an excellent fundraiser as well as a generous personal contributor to branch funds. As well as coping with his Parkinson’s Peter had major surgery with many complications and his declining health made attending meetings difficult. Many current members may not have known Peter but on behalf of all the branch we pass on our sympathy and condolences to his wife Janet and the family for their sad loss.

(2) RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Corporate Head of Sustainable Communities be authorised to submit comments to Peterborough City Council raising concern about: the amount of land which is being considered for development in villages of Deeping Gate, identified as “Small Village”, and in Northborough identified as a “Limited Growth Village”. The amount of land being considered far exceeds that envisaged in the Peterborough Core Strategy and would compromise the Spatial Strategy set out within. They could also have serious implications for the provision of local services and infrastructure within South Kesteven.
