The Cost Of...

The past few months have focussed all of us on the costs of things.

COVID-19 has robbed us of so much, and we will never fully understand the costs to us as individuals and to society as a whole. Physical, emotional, and financial costs have been bourne by us and will unfortunately continue for a long time to come. But did you know that Healthcare Professionals are always discussing costs with their patients? In the public sector (eg NHS), financial costs will be rarely covered, whereas physical costs are often explored at length. This is because interactions with Healthcare Professionals will generally involve some form of education, and this will be based on either the cost to you of not following any advice given, or the benefit to you (savings if financial) of following any advice.

In addition in the private healthcare sector, changes in fee structures during and after the pandemic will be evident to ensure sustainability of the businesses that so many rely on for their treatments. This is due to the change in how these businesses have to operate in order to keep you safe from the coronavirus. So over the next few months, I am going to explore the costs of various aspects of health

particularly when related to our feet or gait as these are my specialist areas.

To start the series, let’s take a broad approach and look at: The cost of (im)mobility Being mobile is an important part of living, yet we often take our ability to get around for granted, not least than when it comes to the parts of our bodies that enable us to be independently mobile – namely our legs and feet. We understand the need to look after other areas of our anatomy (such as our hearts & lungs), but how much attention do we give to the care of our lower limbs?

Yet when they don’t deliver on their job of moving us around, how many of us really appreciate the costs of that: Physical costs – When our feet or legs are in pain or not functioning well enough for their intended role, it is then more difficult to maintain good muscle strength & tone, bone density, and cardiovascular fitness. This leads to a deterioration in our overall health & wellbeing, which can be irreversible.

Emotional costs – We rely on mobility to enable us to do the things we love, such as going for a walk/run or playing with our children/grandchil-

HEALTH FIRST

dren. We all felt the emotional strain of losing our ability to do such things when lockdown restrictions were first introduced a few months ago.

So imagine that on an ongoing basis because you have problems with the very things that propel you from A to B without reliance on other equipment.

Financial costs – Oncosts of immobility can build significantly, not just in the expense of mobility aids, but also many need to be mobile in order to be able to earn money, so there is an obvious financial cost if that mobility is compromised in any way. However, education on treatment costs is really the purpose of the forthcoming series of articles, especially how much it costs to “fix” foot & gait problems. For the generic problem of fixing immobility, there is such a wide range of costs that no financial figures given would do it justice. Instead, next time I will highlight a specific health condition, educate you about it and explore the costs associated with it. So keep an eye out for a series of articles.

EQUITY RELEASE ADVICE SERVICE

Have you considered accessing the equity in your home?

You may be able to release cash to pay off an existing mortgage, provide you with a regular income to top up your pension, carry out some home improvements or treat yourselves to that holiday that you have always wanted.

Grosvenor Independent Financial Planning is your local advice service that gives you access to a range of Lifetime Mortgage providers. To be eligible for equity release you must be aged 55 and own your home. We do not arrange Home Reversion Plans.

We will only recommend Lifetime Mortgage products that meet the standards of the Equity Release Council, who oversee the industry and its members and ensure that their strict standards and principles are upheld.

We will spend time understanding your financial circumstances in detail so that we can recommend the most appropriate product for you if we feel it is suitable.

The first consultation is totally free of charge and without obligation.

If you do have any questions about equity release, the service we offer or if you would like to book a no-obligation appointment, please call us on:

A lifetime mortgage is secured against your home. Typically, there are no monthly repayments. To understand the features and risks, ask for a personalised illustration. Lifetime mortgages will reduce the value of your estate and may affect your entitlement to means tested benefits. Our typical fee is ÂŁ895 which can be paid from the advance.

Poppy Appeal 2020 The 2020 Poppy Appeal is fast approaching but due to the Covid-19 restrictions, it will look different this year.There will be no street or house to house collections and instore face to face collections will be very limited and subject to strict Covid-19 guidance.

At this stage, I just need to know which local businesses, groups, schools or organisations would like a Poppy Box. We will deliver these from 19th October, prior to the Poppy Appeal launch day of the 22nd October.

Any organisations that would like a wreath (previously supplied by Bob Stevens) could you let me know by 5th October so I can order them. Whilst there will be no parade on Remembrance Sunday, there will be the opportunity to lay wreaths at the War Memorial the week before

As every year, we appreciate your support and hope that you are able to continue to work with us to ensure a successful 2020 Poppy Appeal.

More information about Remembrance Sunday will follow in the next few weeks Please call Galanos House 01926 812185 or email me at jawilson@britishlegion.org.uk to order wreaths, Poppy boxes or with any queries. Many thanks, Jo-Anne.

Testimonial Dear Ian

Just a note to say a big thank you to you and your team at Doors and Drawers. The Kitchen refurb project was handled expertly and professionally from start to finish from the advice and support in creating the design to the selection of work tops and units.

The installation including a major floor retile was carried out on time with the minimum of disruption and quality, finish and attention to detail was excellent.

Many thanks to Doors and Drawers Simon and Amy Ward Crick Near Rugby
