It would not have cost postage to send a mail shot to every address. If
everyone is given an opportunity they can then decline the offer. It is highly
unlikely that everyone would accept.

Yes but I know that everyone who was sent information about how to
apply didn't. I know the point wasn't for everyone to apply but the
RNIB couldn't have known accurately how many people would apply. If
only a select number of people were offered the chance to apply it
may have been to do with money, the new machines aren't cheap!
