    Default Definitely one of the can you believe it threads

    Yesterday I went to pick up my new wheelchair which is NHS supplied from a private NHS supplier called Millbrook Healthcare . The chair is specified for me Andy's what is known as a fixed frame lightweight argon2 with special back and seat cushions the retail value of this chair is about £4,500 the NHS pay probably about 1/3 of that because of their bulk purchasing .

    It was fitted to me by a couple of people from the manufacturer agent who in the UK is a company called sunrise medical as I was leaving with my new possession which is on permanent loan to me but is NHS property the sunrise medical rep said don't put it on eBay we are looking out for them on there apparently people who get their Hi-Tec chairs and I've waited 31 months for this some of them put them straight on eBay and sell them off .
    Obviously a good case of the minority get the majority a bad name . The suppliers are all looking out for this though how each chair has a serial number they are arranging suitable recourse when they find this has happened .

    Being genuinely in need of one of these sort of chairs is difficult enough the waiting time is long enough but when you hear that people are doing this it just makes your stomach churn

    There was a story on East Midlands Today a few months ago. A guy was selling prescription drugs on eBay. He would go to the doc with his ailment, get a prescription, get the drugs and Flog on eBay.
