Disabled People in England Face Two-Year Wait for Wheelchairs

RecentNews.uk

Disabled people in England face wheelchair delays of up to two years.

Complaints to the ombudsman regarding wheelchair services rose sharply from 8 to 110 over five years.

Four out of five complaints involve private firms contracted to supply equipment.

The NHS requires 92% of users to receive wheelchairs within an 18-week target.

Should wheelchair services be brought back entirely in-house under the NHS rather than using private contractors?
