  There was a documentary on the other evening, part of which focused on the lack of the above in Deal(Jack and Bob weren't mentioned).
  
  We have stacks of space going unused at Buckland so it would seem logical to use some of that.

  In case anyone missed it the documentary was about a self help group and was on BBC's Inside Out programme.
  
  There might be the space at Buckland but is there anyone medically trained involved with mental health or any other clinic available to use it.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  Nice idea Howard but I fear the shock inflicted on people from Deal negotiating public transport to Buckland might put more strain on mental health provision.

  As it happens I've just been in conversation with the Director of Strategy and Business Development at East Kent Hospitals who was talking about a visit to a Dementia Village in Holland.
  
  I suggested that living in Deal I did not need to travel that far!
