Rescue Pack.

Is it true we will get a food rescue pack

I think the rescue pack you mean is the one your GP should prescribe you, steroids and antibiotics.

I phoned my doctor the other day and asked about an emergency pack (couldn't remember at the time it is called rescue pack) and was told that the surgery hadn't been given any instruction from the government yet. I life in Cardiff, he did however agree to give me a script for antibiotics just in case. I have copd/emphysema

Stanns,if you are in the vulnerable group and registered with the government and have no one to shop for you an option will become available in the future to receive a food parcel FOC initially until they make changes to the system in which case a fee may be involved,please await further info from the government.

Are you on a special diet Skischool ? Just the the link asked and I put down I was. I am suppose to eat at least 3000 calories a day. Which must contain 100 GM's of protein. Lol...Just thinking I wonder if they can get NIDO.

[skischool in reply to Badbessie]

I would need a soft diet option but could easily adapt if necessary,however i do need a lot of milk for calories in my food supplement but imagine that would not be forthcoming so would have to water it down,powdered milk would be preferable but until i get on the damned list i won't get anything and cat will become my staple food lol

[Badbessie in reply to skischool]

I need the same supply of milk for my supplements. Luckily Morrison's saved my bacon by delivering 6 litres of the blue top this morning. Strangely no green or red top in store.

[skischool in reply to Badbessie]

Blue top is the best for calories though i am surprised you were not limited on the milk?i have made 1 litre last 4 days up to now which has meant quite a lot of watering down and the dietician who was supposed to call today for a review just hasn't shown up ........now where's that cat.

[Badbessie in reply to skischool]

No limit on blue top as it came in a six carton pack. Which by the rules only counted as one.

I have had had my rescue pack today, I am amazed at all the food that they have given to me, I even had shower gel & toilet rolls. All these Nurses & volunteers are wonderful, they deserve a medel.
