TBI 2,351 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 What's the difference in the disposal of sharps from surgeries and health centres; between those dropped in by patients in yellow boxes and considerably more the medical staff use themselves daily? There aren't any! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You must have been one of the lucky ones, they didn't make many manual one's as the gearbox couldn't take the strain of the 5.3 v12.When I say lucky, i mean cos they were rare.

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 When I lived at Bathurst, NSW, Jaguar often sported a couple of cars in the annual Bathurst 500, they had a habit of blowing the gearboxes at the start line. One year they endurance tested their cars before the race to sort the gearbox problems out. They ran a couple of cars between Sydney and Broken Hill and back for several weeks. Bloody long drive!! I never heard if they cured the problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is what I was getting at. I would be very surprised if the changes you outlined are being made for the 'hell of it'. I reckon it is almost certain that a legislative/regulatory, cost saving, or both, imperative has forced the changes. Possibly you could enquire of your Local Council or your NHS contacts, as to the reasons for the changes? Col. Looks like a bit of belt tightening by the Clinical Commissioning Group. GP practices are not contracted to provide the service and CCGs are not funded to cover the cost of sharps bin collection and disposal although they have done it for years. So now we have one rule, 4 councils and 4 different approaches. Broxtowe B.C. Complete a form - required to register - collection on Thursday needs to be available by 6.30 am - need to phone week before for collection. Nottingham City Council Register by phone - state how often required - phone to arrange next collection. Erewash B.C. Basically told CCG to foff - only housebound patients will receive collections - non-housebound patients should return sharps to to GP practice. Ashfield D.C. No need to register - phone to arrange Thursday collection - 24 hours notice.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
