ST HELENS & Knowsley Hospitals Trust has called an 'Amnesty Week' for elbow crutches.

The week starts on Monday, July 15, and anyone who may have borrowed elbow crutches who no longer needs them is asked to return them to their local physiotherapy departments at Whiston, St Helens or Newton Hospital. By returning the crutches you could be helping someone else towards recovery.

Anyone who is unable to return the crutches to a hospital should contact Jillian Pendlebury at the physiotherapy department at Whiston Hospital on 0151 430 1279 any morning Monday to Friday.
