NHS Discriminating Against Civillian Amputees

August 25, 2015

Charities representing some of the 64,000 amputees across the UK say civilians are being discriminated against.

Their claim comes after NHS England refused to fund three specialist prosthetics, despite them being available for service veterans injured in conflict.

Nikki Fox reports.

    I have no problems what so ever with service men and women being given better grade prosthetics then civilians THEY EARNED IT!
    I’m a wheelchair user and became dependent on a chair after an accident nobody came showing me what I was I was ENTITLED to mine came out of my pocket I was injured as a psychiatric nurse on duty my huge payout came to £3000.00
    I had to wait until my parents both passed away leaving me enough cash for a decent chair!!
    This sounds to me like another greedy checking civil rights lawyer wanting to get their nose in the trough and while THE DISABLED fight over crips and super crips
    WE ARE ALL GETTING WELL AND TRULY REAMED BY SOCIETY, INTO ACCEPTING OUR PLACE INSTEAD OF METAPHORICALLY STANDING UP AND DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
    if I did stand up I would probably fall on my arse not a great start!!
