Why Is This Service Needed?
 
         
         
    In many cases the NHS takes six months or more to supply standard model wheelchairs to patients who desperately need them. These people often feel like prisoners in their own homes and such delays can sometimes impede the healing process.    
         
       
         
    This is where DTFS can help. We provide patients with a wheelchair until they receive their own from the NHS. This allows them to get out and do the things that most of us take for granted - like going to the shops or visiting friends and family. We have also helped terminally ill patients with much needed equipment.
