what am I up to today?

Just a quick post today. Not sure if anyone finds what I say that I do from day to day interesting- hence why I asked the question of the panellists at the blogging event- but, I shall persevere none the less. I visited the Bobath Centre that treats children with cerebral palsy today. It was very interesting, as I love to get out and about to see what such organisations do on the ground. They are having difficulties guaranteeing long term funding from Local Health Boards, and the Welsh Assembly Government if I am frank, so there is much more campaign work to be done. However, I believe that they have secured a meeting with Edwina Hart next month, so hopefully she can tell them of her intentions. They perform such a vital, specialist role that this should be taken in to consideration when the government are formulating budgets. I’ll try my best to support them in every way possible.
I’m rushing off in a minute to finish filming for the Week in Week Out edition next week on Prince Charles that I’ve told you about previously on this blog. I hope we get as much coverage as the one that’s on discussing ecoli this week. That has definitely made the headlines.
Tomorrow I’m doing the opening speech of the fourth All Wales conference for parents and carers of eating disorders at the Marriot St Pierre Golf and Country Club in Chepstow. I am really privileged to have been asked to speak at the event, and I look forward to meeting those who attend the event, and to spread the word about the cross party group on eating disorders. B-eat Cymru will also be launched tomorrow- an exciting development for Wales and for those involved in this sector….
