crutches, walking frames, wheelchairs.to walk, they're invaluable, but many of us are hanging onto these devices and cluttering up our homes. now, we're being encouraged to give them back. health bosses say returning equipment like this not only saves the nhs money but also helps to reduce waste. within our budget, that's £125 billion. to date, this perhaps has been seen as a small value item, that the cost of things like crutches is relatively low it's compared to many of the other things that the nhs is dealing with, so i don't think it's had sufficient priority within the nhs. a set of crutches costs approximately £7. a walking frame, around £18. figures provided by the department of health show that last year, 212 trusts spent £6.4 million on walking aids, and half of that was on crutches. here at the mid essex hospital trust, reusing and recycling equipment is a big thing. around 2,000 pieces have been returned this year — that's a saving of £25,000. but returning nhs equipment can be confusing. there's no national po
