Will the rain and wind ever stop? In atrocious conditions, I drove to a constituent's home in Lulworth to discuss a new health idea with the CEO of the wonderful charity Lewis-Manning Hospice Care. Much of the road from Wool down to Lulworth was flooded, with water cascading down and across the road. Anyway, I met up with my caseworker at the constituent's house and we were soon chatting to both husband and wife, who had asked Clare Gallie to brief me. With a welcome coffee in my hand, I listened with great interest to Clare's proposal. In simple terms, the charity is called upon by those coping with loved ones needing end of life care. A member of the team is then sent to someone's home and immediately assesses what that person needs and wants. Most want to stay in their own homes and Clare is all for that. Once the assessment is made, Clare's team do what they can to help. In short, they co-ordinate the care. Clare is passionate about her charity, which is spreading its wings into Purbeck. She has found there is an acute need, especially in rural areas. Clare is collecting all the data because she believes they are preventing people from ending up in hospital, where, in most cases, they do not want to be. It also saves a lot of money, ambulance time and other costs associated with hospitalisation. I was immediately taken by Clare's project and said I would organise a meeting local health officials. Then, it was down to Weymouth, where I popped into Weyfish, the successful fishmongers and restaurant on the quay, to both buy some fish and congratulate them all for a recent and very glowing write-up by a well-known chef. They took 1,000 bookings as a consequence. Fantastic. Then, it high winds and showers, I headed to Crossways to campaign with our DC candidate Andrew Ross-Skinner. The rain held off, giving us time to deliver leaflets and chat to local people. In other news, the boss of Thames Water told the BBC that customer bills needed to rise by 40 per cent by 2030 to pay for improvements. The company is in financial difficulties, with large debts and some worried shareholders. Disgraced crypto entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison after being convicted of stealing billions of dollars from his customers. And a draft report uncovered by the BBC showed the Post Office spent £100 million fighting sub-postmasters in court despite knowing its defence was untrue. This is an appalling scandal.
