[QUOTE="ronialive, post: 419441, member: 53168"] my doctors and pharmacy refuse to dispose of them so I use the council. The doctors only have small ones on prescription but for disposable syringes and pen needles and finger prickers they are fine. Since I have had my insulin pump they will not provide those the pump company does - which probably means that the hospital is paying for them etc. It is not good practise to put sharps into the rubbish and if someone has a sharps injury you could be prosecuted so if your doctors refuses to prescribe ask them to put it in writing so that you are not legally liable. They will soon prescribe as this is a prescribable item. [/QUOTE]
