@C7RKY Yes. Really.
Within hours of giving birth, you can look forward to a pushy sales pitch from NHS endorsed firm, Bounty. Really?? > http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/new-mothers-hassled-in-hospitals-by-babycare-firms-warns-mumsnet-8635202.html …

@MedsManPharm And I see comment on your TL that we pay them to distribute forms too? When did the moral compass get scrapped? All about cash -
@C7RKY ...the links to Mumsnet? A thread, I think, where women describe their 'Bounty experiences'. -
@MedsManPharm No actually, but I'll take a look - thanks. The worse the product, chances are, the more pushy the rep, in my experience. :) -
@C7RKY Well, a bag of crap leaflets and a small tub of Sudocrem if you're lucky! Reports of quality of the photos they tout seem to vary. -
@MedsManPharm Just something a little distasteful for me about allowing any commercial access, but especially so at such a personal time. -
@C7RKY Absolutely. Couldn't agree more. Does this happen in any other area of healthcare? Preying on the vulnerable. -
@MedsManPharm I could start with MP's private healthcare interests & work my way down for that one! Usually more subtle than Bounty tho. :) - 2 more replies

@C7RKY this has happened for probably 25 years -
@garyk01 Has it!? Well...guess I must have 'unapproachable' written all over me? Nobody tried to sell me anything 3 years ago. :) -
@C7RKY were you not given a new baby pack? -
@garyk01 I'm sure we were given the bag of 'freebies', but no sign of anybody trying to sell anything on the back of it. Just me? -
@C7RKY the freebies are an inducement in themselves, no doubt the sales part has changed and varies area to area -
@garyk01 True. I guess many will be influenced by the freebies. Couldn't even tell you what was in it tho, so not sure I fell victim. :-)
