One good thing to come of any checks such as these is how under resourced many ebme depts are.
We have had the local trading standards in to check our scales, they performed the function free of charge and checked every scale to be found on the whole site. They took a week to do and then provided us with a report on the condition of the scales. They did not perform any repair or cal but at least we know the condition and location of all our scales. It is now up to the trust to act on this report/information to comply with legislation.
