NHS Trust dice all’utente su sedia a rotelle di andare agli animali domestici a casa da pesare

Not sure if I’ve got this right, but from the article, it sounds like;

– She needs regular weighing to manage her condition
– Her local health services don’t have any facilities for someone in a wheelchair to be regularly weighed
– They do have some facilities, but you need an appointment to use them

I can’t tell from the article if she’s saying that she used to be able to just turn up at a clinic and use their scales, but now that’s shut down so she can’t – and she now has to book an appointment to get weighed? (Likely meaning she wouldn’t be able to get weighed as often as she needs)

Or if she being told they can’t weigh her at all?

Either way, being told to go to a pet shop to get weighed is ridiculous.

Your heath cuts in progress.

And still we let politicians run this into the ground and skim any way they can make a buck.

Edit) heath cuts are not just a funding issue FFS. It is way way deeper than that.

We once had to send a patient to a local zoo to have a CT because they were too heavy for any of the local human scanners.

The lesson here for government employees is to never bother trying to propose alternatives.  Just say “nah, we can’t help you” and leave it at that, because you’ll only get grief.
