To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will place in the Library a copy of the report from the Disablement Services Authority regarding the provision of powered wheelchairs for outdoor use; if he will publish the recommendations in the Official Report; and if he intends to accept them.

I understand that the Disablement Services Authority has now completed the indoor/outdoor electric wheelchair pilot study. A copy of the report on the study has been placed in the Library. The authority is in touch with the Department about the next steps to be taken and we shall make an announcement in due course.
