HC Deb 04 July 1989 vol 156 c147W
Mrs. Wise

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make it his policy that in the event of a successful pilot study he will make additional money available to the Disablement Services Authority for the provision of battery powered indoor-outdoor wheelchairs.

Mr. Mellor

The Disablement Services Authority is financing the present pilot study from within its present resources. If the authority concludes that additional resources are needed it will no doubt justify such a request to my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State which will be considered in the public expenditure survey process.
