Wheelchairs

Volume 472: debated on Tuesday 4 March 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what information was requested from wheelchair services as part of the Transforming Community Equipment and Wheelchair Services Programme data gathering exercise; and if he will place the results in the Library; (189873)

(2) when he expects to announce a decision on the new model for wheelchair services; and if he will make a statement.

Consideration is being given to the findings and recommendations of the Transforming Community Equipment and Wheelchair Services programme in relation to wheelchair services with a view to confirming the next steps in due course.

The request for information was submitted using the Review of Central Returns process. The data collection templates have been placed in the Library. The results of the data gathering exercise, some of which is commercially sensitive and is not currently available, will form part of the business case which is currently under consideration by Ministers.
