Bureaucracy gone mad
I’ve had a healthwise doctor-supported subscription for two years - I’m 83 and during that period have had two new knees - Last week I was informed without prior notice that my monthly subscription had gone up to £25 a month. I complained, but though £20 a month subscription was restored, this is provisional on obtaining ( again at expense!) another doctor’s recomnendation.
I walk with walking poles, am not likely to improve much. It would be cheaper for me to pay each time I go, and more inconvenient for me and the leisure centre. To cap it all, yeaterday the whole class tur ed up for a Healthwise session to find no instructor - and no-one able to supervise us, so the class could not take place - no offer of a refund either

Hi Alwyn
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
We are very sorry to hear about the recent issues with your Healthwise subscription and the unexpected price increase. We completely understand how frustrating and disappointing it must be to be asked to provide another doctor’s referral.
We’re also very sorry about the missed Healthwise session and the lack of supervision. That should never have happened, and we understand how inconvenient it must have been for the whole group.
A credit has been applied to your Better account, and we hope you have a better experience with us moving forward.
Kind Regards
Amir

Useage of pool facilities
I can not use the times in the pool to allow me to use the pool at 1830

Reply from Better - Eastern Leisure Centre
Hi Julie,
Thank you for your feedback! I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with the pool schedule at the Eastern Leisure Centre. I completely understand how important it is to have flexible access, especially if the 18:30 time isn’t available for you.
Could you please provide more details about the issue? Is it that the pool is not open at that time, or are there restrictions preventing you from using it at 18:30? If there’s something we can do to adjust or better communicate the schedule, we’d love to help make it easier for you.
Your experience is important to us, and we want to ensure that our pool times work for all members. Let us know how we can assist you further!
Kind regards,
Charmaine
