[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 907034, member: 94348"] Agree it would be good if all people who wanted the pump, or to try the pump, were able to - sadly the NHS does not give this priority. It was not until some while after i had a fall with serious consequences that i eventually got a pump. Re unwanted pumps, NHS has to be fair, and also careful to assess everyone, and the pump manufacturers require this assessment also. Not sure if unwanted pumps are re-used, thought they used to be. The NHS ones belong to the hospital, and i thought they went to someone waiting on their lists. Not sure now - maybe it is like crutches - NHS used to have them back but now sterilisation costs mean they don't, I have a collection... [/QUOTE]
