Establishing Eligibility

The Commissioners, under guidance from NHS England, have created the eligibility criteria for Wheelchair Services. Referrals must meet the criteria to be accepted, so please read them carefully to make sure your client is eligible for the service. 

If your service user requires a short term loan of a wheelchair, please contact the Red Cross (other providers may be available).
