Aw, Tony, electric pumps are easy to obtain in the UK, all the major pump
firms advertise in every baby magazine held in every corner store in nearly
every village, let alone town or city.  They give their telephone number in
the ads and will send you a pump by courier that day or next day.  There are
E----- pump agents within striking distance of the majority of women in the
UK   At least one of the major stores in every town in the UK sell their own
brand of electric pump.   If the mum can't get out, she can always enlist a
friend or helper to get one.  Some hospitals hire them out.
