Re: District nurses
While I realise it is distressing for you that they may stop home visits I do see their point in a way. The NHS is hugely stretched and struggling badly these days and are only able to home visit people who are completely housebound. There doesn't seem to be enough district nurses these days. I have a friend who is a district nurse and she is forever telling me how pushed she is because of staff shortages and when she complains it falls on deaf ears.Re: District nurses
The district nurses were supposed to be coming to me three times each fortnight but I soon learned that it was easier to visit the local hospital rather than stay in for the nurse as they are very overstretched. This way I have an appointment and can be in and out in a few minutes. I know it’s more difficult if you don’t have transport Deylon.Re: District nurses

Re: District nurses
When my mum had district nurse care they phoned to say when they expected to be there and called when they were running late. It's a simple courtesy.
