I feel it was a waste of time.
Being a gold/platinum patients (cancer and over 80 years of age) means when you call they will see mom within 24 hours, but for myself, it pushes me back. The dementia check over the phone was pretty useless. I did get a text about an hour later to say they had found the power of attorney part at the front, as the doctor wasn't aware of it. He was very condescending and doing it to tick a box and they're not actually interested in your answers. As a carer you don't have all of this extra time to be wasted I think what was the point.
