On Monday 26th October our new Carer Support Officers based at St Helens & Whiston Hospitals started offering support to Carers. In total, 6 new workers including a benefits worker are now based within the hospital. Posted 28/10/09 The service has come as a result of a successful bid by 6 partners to the Department of Health meaning Halton & St Helens are now a National Carer Demonstrator Site to pilot improved services to Carers within the NHS - 1 of only 8 such sites in the country. Carers Start Receiving New Breaks The first Carer Breaks have been awarded by the Centre with the appointment of Katey Travis as our new Carer Breaks Officer. Already Carers have accessed the new breaks fund to have a long weekend away or use a cleaning service to give them support. The new breaks service is as a result of Halton & St Helens NHS Primary Care Trust agreeing to use their full allocation of new government money for Carers Breaks. Unfortunately, in many areas of the country, the new money has not been used for new breaks.
