This morning I had my usual fortnightly visit from the Community Matron, blood tests ect. I also mention about some equipment which I no longer require, and ask could she arrange for them to be collected, she phoned up. I couldn't believe the answer she got, it appears that this equipment is no longer recycled and that the items become the property of the user
WHY. I have a foot stool and a bed back rest which are in perfect working order, in the past these things have been returned sterilised and reused, but of course in this age of plenty we don't do this any more, just wonder which bird brain came up with that idea. Its not as if they are cheap either I think that both items are in the catalogue at over £40 each.
After giving this matter a little though I've decided not to let this lay, the only thing I have to decide is how to go about it. Do I write the the Secretary of State for Health and voice my concerns or do I contact my MP, after playing about with the idea, I've decided option 2, I actually think I might get a better result that way, so Graham I will be endeavoring to contact you in the next couple of days, just not up to it at the moment.
