AN ACTON Bridge man fighting an ongoing legal battle with the health authorities has a new date for an independent panel to review his bid for “justice”.
Stephen Johnson, of Strawberry Lane, Acton Bridge, will renew his three-year battle with Central and Eastern Cheshire Primary Care Trust on November 24 and 25.
Mr Johnson’s brother Rod, who died in March aged 54, spent almost £60,000 on care at Redwalls Nursing Home, Sandiway, after suffering a stroke in 2005. But the PCT refuses to foot the bill as it deemed his needs social, not medical.
The review next month will be the eighth time NHS chiefs have met to discuss his case - the previous seven pleas have all been rejected.
“It’s about time justice was served,” said Mr Johnson. “If it’s not, we’ll have to take it further.”
