NHS to launch national 'crutch amnesty' amid concern equipment is going to waste The NHS is to launch a national “crutch amnesty” to deal with concern that perfectly good medical equipment is going to waste cluttering up homes across the country.
Patients are being urged to return wheelchairs, walking frames and other aids to local hospitals, as part of a war on waste across the NHS. Ministers are concerned that hospitals do little to track down such equipment – and even refuse to use unwanted aids when patients attempt to return them. The Daily Telegraph
