Safety police outlaw NHS knitters over fears of accidents with needles By JAMES TOZER - More by this author � Last updated at 20:49pm on 16th September 2007
For three years it has been a simple way for hospital visitors to make a difference while they wait. Patients and relatives - indeed anyone handy with a pair of needles - have been asked to knit a small square to be turned into blankets for local charities. But that was until the health and safety brigade heard what was going on. Although no one has so much as nicked a finger as a result of the scheme at Congleton War Memorial Hospital in Cheshire, officials have decided the knitting needles are too sharp to be used safely. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/health/healthmain.html?in_article_id=482143&in_page_id=1774 -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
