Hi folks I'm curious to know if people are being prescribed free incontinence pads or do you find that your loved one is limited to a certain amount.
At the moment my mother has 4 pads prescribed that are free,mum is bedbound and has 4 care visits when they change pads so i don't know if that has any bearing on her getting them for free.although when the last lady from the continence team came she did try to cut my mum down to 3 but when i said mum had 4 care visits she agreed that she could stay with the 4.
Mums pads are leaking at the moment so i'm going to contact them and it made me wonder if she has to get an upgrade will i have the merry dance again of them trying to give her less pads as the new ones would be more expensive
