Good Neighbour Service
This service, ancillary to the Home Help Service, continues
to arrange for neighbours to provide assistance to patients
living nearby. Limitations in the availability of the service arise
where no-one living nearby is available to give attention to the
patient at various times during the day. During the year 11 patients
were provided with help under the scheme, and at the end of the
year 10 patients were receiving assistance from good neighbours.
