The Handyperson Services were tasked to switch all analogue Telecare units and replace them with the new digital units. We currently have between 250 and 300 units throughout the Skye & Lochalsh area.
We were given the go ahead at the end of August and were set a deadline for completion of 31st December. This was achieved with all the new digital units installed, tested and linked to all existing sensors.
There were around 10 clients who do not currently receive mobile phone signals and therefore could not be switched and they will continue to receive a guarantee of an analogue phone service until the year 2030.
