Wheelchairs: Young People

Information is not collected centrally on waiting times for wheelchairs for children. It is for each primary care trust to assess local needs and allocate funding accordingly. They are best placed to determine which type of wheelchair is provided, after detailed clinical consultations and patient evaluation.
