(as a service user),

I’d submitted a form for medical priority for the appeal at East Renfrewshire Council. I hadn’t heard anything and cut off 3 times I phoned the council - the last of which was 2 hours in a queue   I felt frustrated, anxious, angry and didn’t know where to turn to next. Phoned the community hub and within 15 minutes Alan from Talking Points had phoned and was on my case. He’s a great listener, had a very calming manner and told me not to worry as he would find out the required information. This was last Thursday the back of 14. 00. By Friday afternoon he had made contact with the housing allocations department and gave me the superb news that I had been moved up to Band B. Incidentally, 3 weeks on I still havent had written confirmation from the council of this decision-not impressed with the council at all. I’d like to thank Alan so much for taking time to help me and resolving my problem so quickly. % star service!

Dear Mo169,

I would like to thank you taking the time to give feedback on Care Opinion. I agree that Alan is a great listener and he does have a very calming manner and I am so happy that he managed to help you with your issue.

I am however sorry to read about your experience of Housing Services. This service is not provided by East Renfrewshire HSCP but I have been in contact with them about your story.

Eddie Gray, Lead Officer for Housing Options and Support would welcome the opportunity to explore your experiences of the service and you can contact him if you wish on 07854 751 433.

Best wishes
