A Crutch Is An Old Story You Can Lean On

This story about a shortage of crutches at the Great Western Hospital has odd parallels with the one we first reported on over a year ago.

One thing is rather curious though. Its said that the shortage is due to an increase in injuries due to the warm weather. More sport being played, that type of thing. But surely it'd be worse in winter, due to people slipping and falling, when it's icy and frosty?

Is this the ultimate newspaper story, which can be recycled whatever the season?
