Mr. Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the current average NHS waiting time for a wheelchair; how many applications for wheelchairs have been made for each NHS trust in the last 10 years; and if he will make a statement. [18304]

Mr. Boateng

Information on applications or waiting times for wheelchairs is not collected centrally. Information on the number of wheelchairs issued by individual health authority Wheelchair Services is available in"Wheelchairs and artificial limbs—England", copies of which are available in the Library.
