I recently had a course of antibiotics by self injection after a knee replacement in Bury Hospital.
Now I have 14 used sharps, the pharmacy won't take them, telling me GPs surgery or the hospital - sounded reasonable.
At Accrington Victoria yesterday on another matter, tried to hand them in there but they would not accept them, saying I had to take them to the hospital that issued them.
It seems a bit stupid to me but perhaps someone can explain the reason behind the refusal.
Now I will try the GP, or alternatively I am sure someone around Abbey St area will happily accept them (joke), or do they get a free issue?
