Julie James AM's press conference this afternoon.........Supermarket delivery issues
"Supermarkets have all received shielded letters and we've had extensive conversations reiterating that where possible shielded (vulnerable) people can have delivery slots prioritised.
"Food boxes are being delivered directly to people, that system is not yet fully rolled out but will be very quickly.
"The numbers of vulnerable people are very unlikely to get their delivery slot of their choice. Where possible people should have others going to the supermarket for them.
"We have to understand the scale of this (88,000 vulnerable people across Wales)."
The issue of "Vulnerable people" in Wales is beginning to cause a lot of confusion, there appears to be a large number, who have not received the governments "shielded letter" for "high risk", despite meeting the criteria, myself and a few acquaintances, I have written to the local MP and local council, for advice and information, this is more important , than food delivery priorities, We need to know that the various government and medical departments are aware of us, if the situation warrants it.
On the government web site, it says if you have not received your letter by the 6th Apr. contact your GP, ......they can do nothing.
There are two letters in circulation at the moment, a general government advice letter, with leaflets, and the important "Shielded letter"
I would be interested to know if there are others locally, in the same situation, or who have received theirs on the forum or by PM. Steve
