[QUOTE="sleepster, post: 2330952, member: 482479"] Hi [USER=188307]@adi_mrok[/USER], I can't help on the first question as my pump is supposed to be replaced this year :nailbiting: On the second question, funding can certainly be withdrawn, but I don't think it happens very often. I changed hospitals this year but at my old clinic they threatened to withdraw funding, meaning I wouldn't have gotten a replacement when my warranty expired. I don't know if that would have actually happened, when I told my new consultant what had been said, they were horrified. When I moved hospitals I knew there was a chance I may not have been able to continue with a pump (different CCG) and my new consultant wanted to know why I had started using a pump. Because the problem that led to me needing one hadn't come back whilst on the pump, they were happy to continue funding it. If your wife is at the same clinic that prescribed the pump then I can't see them withdrawing funding without a very good reason. [/QUOTE]
