Hi everyone as some of you may remember my first post on the forum was about a voice meter recap i am using a nexus Rx meter giving to me by my surgery dsn now my eye sight has got really bad i struggle to see the screen ok when wife there but not always possible so i asked surgery if i could change to a talking meter they said no strips cost to much so i got in contact with my CCG explained what was happening and could they help just received letter from them saying as i had someone there wife they basically said no and to work my test around her being home so i phoned and spoke to someone explain situation and said i got a good mind to go to local press about this her reply was you can't threaten us your only a patient and hung up the phone what do think about that guys?
 
This is awful, patients are paying their wages. I would strongly suggest you contact your MP's office as soon as possible. Post on House of Commons stationery was a priority when I worked for the NHS.
 
Allison Campbell Thanks for replying i have calmed down a bit now but it made me bl__dy angry that she had the cheek to hang up on me will sort more out next week thanks again.
