Does the National Health Service provide mobility equipment and offer support to children and their families?
The NHS, via their Wheelchair Services, offer a basic range of mobility equipment and services for disabled children, but unfortunately, due to financial restraints and ever growing demand, these services are often unable to cater for individual needs, in particular when addressing the needs of children with profound conditions. Action For Kids do work closely with the NHS wheelchair services, when possible, to improve the diversity of provision and to increase the number of children we can help.
