We have been waiting 6 months for an assessment for a new chair ( and are still waiting) for my Mum who has Parkinson's Disease and has done for 23 years. The chair she has now is the one she was given four years ago and was used for transporting her to and from the car or if she had to walk a great distance. Now she is reliant on the chair and needs one that tilts and has superior cushioning to allow her to be fed and support her as she struggles to sit up. I have been told today that if you have a hospital admission you are taken off the list and then have to resubmit your application upon discharge! No wonder she's not getting far. We could try and buy the chair at a cost of £2000, but why should we, she pays her taxes and is paying for her care surely she is entitled to a decent wheelchair?
