HCS update from 15 January to 5 February 2014
Moved to Archive on 23 February.
15 Jan
The website is now functional here.
The website is being tested. Give HCS the benefit of the doubt in the context of E & O E and problems associated with the possibility of variable outcomes according the location and capacity of the computer used.
The testing is not exhaustive. Only a sample can be included here. The Links page, for example, carries numerous links - see here.
The results of four months of no-access updating include the following:
"We are still in the process of updating links and information so please bear with us if you come across anything “strange” !"here.
A translation facility is a big step forward.
"Carers Forum
If you want to attend a Carer Forum, only last year's dates are listed here."
Following a possible formula, the meetings are held on the third Thursday of the odd months January, March, May etc.
There are no Minutes for July, September and November 2013.

Readers looking a week ago to see the new programme for a support group might have decided to wait a while for a better result. They look again here.
I have posted the information here.
"We are still in the process of updating links and information so please bear with us if you come across anything “strange” !" here. Which has the higher priority - lovely new changing graphics here or the real info useful to carers? You see the outcome.
Readers find this heading:
Library of Useful Resources
Herefordshire Carers Charter.
There are descriptions but no link here. You could have found it on the page here.
Readers, by now disappointed, look for inspiration on the News page. No news. The GP item was there before mid September 2013.
All the rest would also have been seen before mid September. The main witness to "admin" posting seemingly newsworthy text is shown as follows:
Consultation Events for Urgent Care
Posted on January 9, 2014 by admin
The remaining planned events are:Tuesday 24th September, 6:30 – 8:30 pm at the Lady Hawkins Community Centre, Kington;Wednesday 25th September, 6:30 – 8:30 pm at the Royal British Legion Club, Ledbury andMonday 30th September, 2:oo pm – 4:00 pm Saxon Hall, Hereford. There is also an online survey linked to via the CCG front page.
Tuesday 24th September doesn't tally on my 2014 calendar and it's too far ahead to have been a valid announcement.
The other give-away is the reference to There is also an online survey linked to via the CCG front page. and there's no clues as to what CCG means. Presumably - Consultation Care Group That pasted into the search box provides this page. Use this and paste Consultation Care Group into the box and it shows no result.
