[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2553207, member: 372717"] Not a stupid question at all. My understanding (possibly incorrect because I left the UK in 1999) is that it's funded by the state if you can get your local health provider to prescribe it. Pump prescriptions are done by the health authority and not the GP, and different health authorities both have different pumps that they'll cover (which may or may not be the one that you want) and different hoops that you have to jump through before they will fund you. Edited to add, just seen it's your first post. Welcome to the forums [USER=561356]@Cyndy_US[/USER] [/QUOTE]
