Call for return of loan equipment no longer used

Each year Southern DHB’s Short Term Loan Equipment stores issue approximately 20,000 equipment items. Patients that have received assistive equipment they no longer use are being asked to return it, free of charge with no questions asked.
 

The equipment may include items such as a raised toilet frames, shower stools, wheelchairs, cushions, bed levers, walking frames, walking sticks and crutches.
