DIABETES sufferer Shane Board knows all about the condition?s postcode lottery.
The 23-year-old was forced to swap Poole Hospital for the Royal Bournemouth to get a piece of medical technology that has revolutionised his life.
?I use an insulin pump, but I had to change hospitals to get it because it became apparent they would not offer me one at Poole,? he explained.
?Luckily, all I had to do to get the treatment I needed was to pop across to Bournemouth ? it is not right that the same treatments are not available to all.?
