§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will extend the wheelchair service to include the provision of occupant controlled outdoor powered wheelchairs; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MajorWe are at present considering whether the Department's wheelchair service should include the provision of dual purpose occupant controlled powered wheelchairs. Those considerations will include occupant controlled outdoor powered wheelchairs. I hope to be able to announce a decision in due course, together with other matters relating to the wheelchair service.
