After my husband died, nina, we had lots of supplies, continence pads, etc.
We phoned the local hospice and they said to bring everything round to them, and if they couldn't use it they would know who could, or would be able to dispose of them safely. It saved a lot of trawling round everywhere. The only thing we were left with was morphine. The district nurse wasn't allowed to carry any in her car, but we were allowed to carry it to the chemist, expecting to be mugged on the way.
