It was pointed out earlier that under the contract, everyone gets three pads per day. I do not know how patients manage it. I certainly could not manage if I was told at six in the morning that I could only use the loo three times a day. However, charges were applied to patients for all continence wear for a period. There were protracted efforts for that money to be returned to them, some of whom had disabilities. Is Mr. Fitzgerald aware that there are a number of cases ongoing? They may not be legal cases but there are a number of cases of protracted correspondence with families of residents who are seeking to have money returned to them that was taken by the institution for continence wear.
