To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps are being taken to introduce self-propelled wheelchairs into hospitals.
Mr. Dorrell
Decisions on the provision of equipment in hospitals are a matter for individual health authorities. The Department has no plans to require authorities to introduce self-propelled wheelchairs for the use of in-patients.
