shame about this the mcmillilan nurses make a huge diferance for cancer victims as i have seen first hand when my father in law got lung cancer and they helped him out a ton when geting out of hospital.

Looks like the Homecare Facilities Grant is at risk, not Macmillan nurses.

yeah its part of the service they offer tho and it was something my father in law got when he was recovering from his operation they fitted a new front door for him coz the old one was drafty andf got him a new washing machine.
If they stop the Homecare Facilities Grant it lessens the efectiveness of the organisation and there ability to help out was what i was geting at.

Ah, yes, I see; social prescribing, as it is now called.
