If you think of it as simply a cane, then it is a lot of money. However, if
you think of it as a sonar for blind people that would give them a great deal
of independence and confidence, then it doesn't seem quite so much. The
problem is that it is out of the price range of the individual but is not an
essential item that the local authorities might pay for. I think that an
organisation, similar to the GDBA, might supply them to individuals with
training. After all, £400 is a lot cheaper than the thousands it costs for a
guide dog, which the individual gets for 50p.

Am I just being a luddite or is £400 an awful lot to pay for a cane?
