Forums General Banter Returning crutches to NHS Reply To: Returning crutches to NHS

I was given 2 crutches after badly tearing an ankle ligament, and had one of them taken off me by the hospital when I went back to have how I was doing checked up on, and later on the other one requested back as my ankle improved further.

Possibly it’s when a hospital can’t ‘track’ the crutches it handles that it can cost them money in paperwork?
I guess if somebody give in a crutch from another hospital, and they lent it to a patient and it broke and they hurt themselves, questions could be asked?
