Aunty Jean's Program -Murrumbidgee LHD

"Aunty Jean's Program -Murrumbidgee LHD"

About: Aunty Jean's Program (Murrumbidgee Local Health District)

(as a service user),

The place I go where the program is now being held used to be open from 2-4pm but the lady who runs it sometimes says she has to leave early or doesn't stay for the whole time. On the times this place has been open I have sometimes seen this lady sitting with her head down like she is bored. Other times we have been waiting with two diabetes nurses, who usually take our blood pressure and sometimes weigh us, for the lady to open up and when she does turn up she has said that she never had keys so she was unable to open up and we couldn't go in.

I have to put petrol in my car to drive there (to the program) as I live out of town but recently when I got there it has not been open. I didn't get told or know that the lady wasn't going to be there.

I find this very inconsistent and inconvenient.
