[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 727282, member: 102150"] It's not an uncommon policy and the financial reasons are understandable. A pump is expensive and they are simply adopting the "don't fix it if it's not broke" policy. Your pump failing is not going to kill you. It's an inconvenience and a disruption admittedly. Put it this way. Every year that you continue with your not brand new, but working, pump is another year that someone else gets a pump who otherwise wouldn't have one at all. We don't have any entitlement to the newest kit just because we like the look of it. Your CCG may well be supporting more pumpers, by being careful and avoiding unnecessary expense. [/QUOTE]
