NURSES at Kidderminster Treatment Centre's eye unit are appealing to Wyre Forest patients to return valuable equipment if they no longer need it.

Magnifiers and angle poise lamps worth hundreds of pounds have been issued to patients with low vision attending the unit over the last few years.

Despite being asked to return equipment when it was no longer needed, many aids are never sent back and staff are forced to order new equipment.

Sister Julie Taylor said: "We would ask anyone who has magnifiers, angle poise lamps or any other items to bring them back as soon as possible."
