The Department is in the process of refining the 2008 proposals for wheelchair services in partnership with the national health service, third sector organisations, service users and other key stakeholders. A multi-agency Wheelchair and Seating Services Advisory Group has been established to co-produce an updated model by April 2010 that reflects recent developments in health and care policy. This revised model will be placed in the Library.
The first meeting of the Advisory Group is scheduled for 26 January 2010.
Previous internal and external reports and proposals for Transforming Community Equipment (TCE) focused on the rationale for change and model design. These reports have now been superseded by the implementation phase of the programme, with the focus now being on the production of implementation tools for local authorities and health partnerships. A public summary report, ‘Community Equipment Outline Retail Model’, was published to the former Care Services Efficiency Delivery website between June 2007 and May 2008. A copy of this report has been placed in the Library.
