Three Macmillan Nurses for population of 280,000

Less than one minute read time.

I was horrified today to be told by our District Nurse that there is only three macmillan nurses to cover the entire population of Stockport which is 280,000. How an earth can they be expected to give an adequate service? We have not had much dealings with them yet, only to be introduced to one, but it is worrying to wonder how much help we are likely to get went it is needed.

    Hi Lyn, that does sound horrendous. 3 nurses for a population of 280,000.

    I'm sure you will get the help needed as and when required though.

    Best wishes, Christine xx
