I put in my order with the new body rather than calling the supplier who prescribed via the GP but also had nurses available if I needed them. I now get calls saying that the units I like are not in the formulary and I have to change. They sent me samples but they were uncomfortable and painful to use so they are sending more samples. The last call was more blunt that the new unit is partly there to save money.
To say that I am annoyed is putting it mildly.
