This has to be the ultimate in waste of NHS funds.

Ditto walking sticks, Zimmer frames no longer needed. Have to pass a health and safety test apparently so not cost effective = bin them! Beyond crazy.

NLS that waste was created a while back before we now order what we need.
In the days of repeat prescriptions we'd be sent more than what was needed at the time and I used to receive " bulk " packs of the same medication month after month ( comp.errors,probably ) and as a consequence the faster I used them the quicker they piled up until the first lot became out of date as did the next. A sheer waste which nobody seemed to notice.
It wasn't all our fault.
We now order what we NEED through the GP to avoid the terrible waste.

Someone has made a gigantic blunder!
Only women or transgender men ( who were formally women) have a cervix.

The ultimate waste of nhs funds is all prescription items
returned to pharmacy’s which are still sealed, not wanted,
have to be binned regardless, what a waste.

And yet my DH has had to wait for critical tests for weeks due to the NHS being over stretched

What kind of PC bullshit is this? The NHS scared of offending a transgender I imagine.

Yes have read this sort of thing before Rosina, I don't understand it,they may wish to be known as women, but they can't possibly have a cervix. Would women who have transitioned to men be tested for prostate problems?

Strange world we live in when the basics of biology are ignored in favour of ideology

'Men who are choosing to be KNOWN' - sorry - proof reader needed.
