| Since his return from the presentation in London the £32,768 has risen to a total of over £35,000. Dr Khan emphasised that the problem is still on going, and the catastrophic conditions that now exist in Pakistan will be aggravated with the advent of winter. Many more people are at risk of dying from the very harsh conditions winter will bring. without the appropriate shelter and food being readily available. He had heard that in just one hospital there were 150 paraplegics as a direct consequence of the Earthquake, which is an intolerable burden on a Hospital with limited facilities. Because of the number of children that have been orphaned he is hoping to have an orphanage opened in the name of the Isle of Man if enough funds become available. Dr Khan intends to continue his fund raising efforts and is devising ways and means to go about it and continue to raise funds. He is extremely grateful to the Manx people for coming forward and donating so generously to aid the Pakistan disaster. Dr Khan is also grateful to the Isle of Man Government for its donation of £100,000 to Oxfam for the Pakistan Appeal. Dr Khan has always helped us and it is only proper that in turn we support his endeavours. The Diabetic wishes him well in his relief fund appeal and we shall keep you posted as to how things develop. Remember that the story may be out of our television screens, but the very real problems still exist. Our best wishes go to him, his family and friends, and this year when we sit around a table with our own family and our friends, let us spare a little thought for those who are disadvantaged, and those who through no fault of their own cannot enjoy, what we, on the Isle of Man take for granted.

RETURN ALL BLOOD PRESSURE MACHINES Do you still have a Blood Pressure Monitor on loan from the Manx Diabetes Centre and have not bothered to return it? We have been asked by the staff at the Manx Diabetes Centre to bring to the notice, of all those patients who have blood pressure machines to please return them to the Centre as they are urgently needed for other patients. This now presents a very real shortage of expensive equipment loaned in good faith. It must be realised that these machines are expensive, and if you do not return them they will have to be replaced. These machines are lent to patients on a two or four week basis, but then it is expected that they must be returned as they DO NOT BELONG TO YOU. This is an urgent matter. We have suggested to the Centre that they send a letter asking for their return within 7 days and failing this the offending patient should be sent a bill for the FULL amount of the Blood Pressure Monitor replacement. You know who you are, so get your skates on and take them down to the Centre as quickly as possible. like yesterday. It is a disgrace to take advantage of the facilities of the Manx Diabetes Centre and your fellow diabetic patients, who need to make use of what you, without logic or reason are holding on to, and depriving your fellow patients of the same facility that was graciously extended to you. Remember the staff know who you are . Please pay strict attention to their requests.
