19/03/19 Continuing Healthcare Enquiry
Continuing Healthcare funding is in many instances mismanaged by Clinical Commissioning Groups, leaving families emotionally and financially devastated when they should be spending quality time with loved ones who, as enshrined in law, should have healthcare free at the point of delivery.
Please support the call for an enquiry into the system which denies many of those who are entitled to free healthcare.
You can sign the petition using the below link.

19/03/19 Derbyshire Cadet Force
Please see below message from Supt Gareth Meadows re the above.
I am looking for volunteers to help run the Derbyshire Cadet force. They would work with an officer / member of police staff who would be the co-ordinator. We would welcome individuals or groups.
I could not think of a better group of people than retired colleagues.
What the young people want from Cadet Leaders are individuals with legitimacy. They have joined the police cadets because that is what they are interested in - policing. Retired officers will have that legitimacy through their experiences and service given.
The force wants capable and trusted volunteers who can take some of the burden from serving officers who have competing operational demands.
For NARPO members this may present the opportunity to become involved with Derbyshire Constabulary again, to bring on subsequent generations into the service and to reconnect with old colleagues. It could be a ‘win win’ all round.
Further information can be found here.
Anyone interested should contact Chief Inspector Barry Doyle who sits over the Cadet Scheme on North Division. His email address is: barry.doyle.656@derbyshire.pnn.police.uk
Regards, Gareth Meadows
