same thing happened with my Dad, stuff that was never used going to wasteAnother plus of a waste of tax payers money.
Our son got a brand new walking frame about 4 weeks ago and has never being used,we rang the hospital up who gave it too us asking can we return it but nope they can’t take it back.
