Hi Maude,

I thought Pipkins issues involved disordered eating,hence the links.

Hi,

Yes, I recieved a reply from Jai Rowell - the minister for mental health. But he just referred me to the places that had refused treatment.

[Maude]

Please don't let Jai Rowell - the minister for mental health get away with it.

Please write back clearly saying that he has referred you to the very places from which you were not able to get services and ask for further suggestions.

I do understand how hard it can be to keep up the energy but please try to do it. I can help you if you would like.

Dear Pipkin,

Well done! You are amazing - taking it up with those public authorities who need to accept responsibility for this schmozzle.

I completely agree with Maude. Don't let them fob you off with this merry-go-round. If you can, keep going with the letter writing. I know it probably takes a lot of time and energy from small reserves. You are one courageous, gutsy person.

Kind regards,

Kristin
