[QUOTE="Pozzie, post: 107995, member: 20610"] As i have recently returned from a 10yr stint living in Australia, I am a bit unsure of the levels of care I am entitled to. I recently saw my GP who advised I see a podiatrist urgently to have my feet assessed. I have had quite bad neuropathy for about 2yrs. She suggested i needed regular care for my feet. She said they have a podiatrist attached to their surgery, but when I phoned this morning to make an appoitnment, i was told that i would have to pay £30 for my first visit. Subsequent visits would be at a lower price. She said that it is very hard to get free foot care on the NHS nowadays. Is that true? Before I went abroad, I am sure that foot care was free for diabetics as i remember my mother having it. Have things changed now?? [/QUOTE]
