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?

They should have provided you with a sharps bin when they gave you the needles. Sounds like another hospital snafu to me....the council have to take away sharps bins but you gotta ring up and ask for collection
