COMMUNITY hospitals across the county are appealing for the return of hundreds of pairs of missing crutches.
Community Health Oxfordshire, which runs the hospitals, said about 500 pairs a year went missing, at a cost to the NHS of £5,900 a year.
It has now appealed for people to take any unused crutches back to their respective community hospital.
