I am 77 years old,and a diabetic...

yesterday I had to have my eyes checked the local clinic.

I travelled by bus to the clinic and  was seen straight away.

The nurse put drops in my eyes and said at this time that

I must be escorted home after she had done the test as

my sight might not be all it should be after the test....

and made a point of telling me not to travel alone.

So I asked the receptionist to call a taxi for me an she did so.

But then charged me 30p for making the call.

surely this is not right at a NHS clinic.
