Personal Wheelchair Budgets

NHS England has announced that with effect from 2 December 2019 all those eligible for an NHS wheelchair will have a legal right to request a Personal Wheelchair Budget and have more control over decisions made about their care and the choice of wheelchair giving them more independence. This scheme will be available to those who are new to registering with the service, or those whose clinical needs are due to be reviewed. Therefore as of the beginning of December, Personal Wheelchair Budgets will be implemented nationally by NHS England providing the opportunity for Surrey Wheelchair Services to adopt a truly holistic approach to the needs of disabled people, and give wheelchair users the control they need.
