Wheelchair & Scooter

• NHS Wheelchair Service
  

  According to the National Health Service Act 1997, anyone who has a permanent mobility problem is entitled to a free, long-term loan of a wheelchair from the NHS. Under the NHS, wheelchairs (including powered wheelchairs) and hand and pedal propelled tricycles are supplied and maintained free of charge to a disabled person whose need for such a chair is permanent.
