A disabled man has described the last six months as the worst of his life after being left without a carer for months after a major operation. Adrian Pomroy, 59, who lives in Hanham, was left disabled after an accident 15 years ago which turned his life upside down.
But despite all the hardships he has faced since the tragic accident, he said the last six months have been the worst. Mr Pomroy went into the BRI for a heart operation in May 2022 and two weeks after returning home he was left without a carer for four months.
After reporting his previous carer of stealing, a new care plan was put in place following an investigation but it took until September 2022 for this to be implemented. Since September he has also been required to pay for his own care, a change that has been recently introduced following him being moved onto Personal Independence Payments (PIP).
