FOI Request

I am enquiring as to whether there would be a need for us to take out wheelchair insurance independently or whether the chair would be covered by NHS should there be a theft, damage etc? Also is James covered for wheelchair repairs etc should the need arise?

FOI Response

It is recommended that the wheelchair is covered by insurance even though it is NHS property. This would cover possible damage or theft. Should anything like this occur we would need to know so that our processes could be followed.
