HL Deb 10 March 2005 vol 670 cc92-3WA
Lord Tebbit

asked Her Majesty's Government:

By what means they monitor the effectiveness of their policy towards the supply of electric-powered wheelchairs through the National Health Service. [HL1634]

Lord Warner

There is no central mechanism for monitoring the supply of electric-powered wheelchairs through the National Health Service. It is the responsibility of local primary care trusts to ensure that the supply of electric-powered wheelchairs meets the demand of the needs of service users.
