[QUOTE="LizzieNI, post: 845021, member: 179523"] I order them through an admin lady at my local regional health centre. I ran out (as they'd told me to always change tubing as I was new) and wasn't able to get any more as it was weekend and no stock of them - A&E, diabetes ward in hospital, nada. I also couldn't order more unless I was due them as you're limited to what you exactly need. Pump clinic carry spares for emergencies but only during working hours. Complete nightmare! Renewals are limited to stock they bought a few years ago that was in storage as no one had budgeted for consumables or nurse training. Same minister who refused to allow gay men to donate blood so real bad. Hopefully by time I renew that stock will be gone and I'll have more options. I only got mine cos local BBC news did a piece on it after loads of complaints about waiting list whilst pumps sat in cupboard, so they managed to find some money for consumables. Hence also why it's so strict. [/QUOTE]
