It is reported in the Northumberland Gazette newspaper that Tyneside health authorities have declared an 'amnesty' for the return of NHS Wheelchairs.
The PCT wheelchair services believe there are a large number of unused wheelchairs, belonging to the NHS, being stored in the wider community.
In these financially strained times, measures such as this amnesty, may well help towards keeping overall NHS costs down.

Exhibitions for Wheelchair Users
April 2009 is an interesting time for those in the UK interested in Wheelchairs. There are two exhibtions held in the Midlands that draw visitors from all over the Country.
The first is the PMG National Training Event held at Warwick University. The exhibition is promoted as 'the meeting point for suppliers and healthcare professionals working within the rehabilitation environment of posture and mobility'. It attracts a wide range of Health care professionals and those with an interest in all aspects of posture and mobility care.
The second, and much larger exhibition is held at the NEC at the end of April. 'Naidex' is billed "as the UK’s largest event for homecare, disability and rehabilitation. Naidex is your best opportunity to touch, test and compare all the latest new products and services available."The event is aimed at healthcare professionals, dealers and the public.
Even though the current economic climate is very difficult, these exhibtions provide a good opportunity to see the progress and development aimed towards meeting the needs of wheelchair users.
