Re: [IPu] Extract from UK mail
Perhaps they have the same accounts as here in NZ. Our health minister
recently announced funding for childrens pumps and consumables but the
amount wasn't much and by the time it was spread round the country it is
stuff all per region. Then there is finding out where the money is, who
qualifies etc etc. All spread a bit thin unfortunately. It would be a help
to us to receive some funding but I am not holding my
breath..................
Are pumps and consumables funded in Australia?
