After going to Portslade Health Centre, my husband needed extra help out of the treatment room.

He uses a wheelchair. Unfortunately, some mindless person had taken the only wheelchair the centre had.

I saw the notice a few days before, when I went there myself, politely stating the wheelchair had gone "missing".

Surely someone cannot be so mean or irresponsible enough to steal a wheelchair?

If it was taken by joy-riding youths, it has probably been ditched in some bushes in Vale Park or the harbour.

I hope this pricks someone's conscience - if they have one.
