Wheelchair services at Frenchay have some great staff, but the limitations always seem to be with the actual wheelchair providers. It takes ages to get an appointment and then if something is wrong with the chair it takes an unreasonable length of time for the provider to put it right. Close to 18 months from the time I first contacted wheelchair services I am still in the old chair I had and my new chair just sits taking up space in a corner of the sitting room. Why? Because it doesn't fully suit my needs. I can't take it to work as I can't fit it in the car, I can't use it for leisure because it tips me out of the front when I lean forward and it does the same when I try to pick up my one-year old. Still waiting for a new appointment...
