How does everyone manage the disposal of used incontinence pants?
I can't fit them in my household waste bin....
I buy incontinence pants for my dad as advised these are better than the pads for dementia patients. The problem is disposal of them. . apparently as I buy the pants I cannot be referred to the councils medical disposal service?
Council tell me my dad needs to be referred for the collection via a letter or form from either his GP or District Nurse Continence team. The GP has never heard of a form and is unwilling to help further and the District Nurse admin I spoke to says that as they do not provide the pants (due to budget cuts) they cannot refer either? I feel like I am running in ever decreasing circles any suggestions please?
