Sir, – I am in full agreement with the comment under the Disability heading in your article “Public proposes 1,000 ways to save money” (Home News, January 19th).
Last week I attempted to return the brand new, never-used commode provided to my late mother-in-law towards the end of 2011. This item will be scrapped as it cannot be taken back in and sent to another person requiring one.
I can understand part of the argument, but why not take the equipment back and just put in a new toilet-pan section? What a waste of resources when the State needs to save every euro it can.
