So then we come to massage therapy. Was there someone who may not have had not the loudest voice who perhaps needed home nursing, immunisation or something else that was essential? Were people getting money for massages when others were not getting money for a wheelchair, for example? How can we be spending money? I am aware there is value to massage but it is hard to quantify. There are other items such as reflexology, acupuncture, chiropractic, osteopathy and pain management, which I find a bit strange considering there is prescription medication. Is this a person coming in with a receipt for Solpadeine or something? I am just wondering-----
