Details
The Health Minister announced back in May 2008 that there would be a full review of wheelchair services with issues for disabled children and young people a priority for the review. However over a year later there has been little progress.
There will be a plenary debate at the Assembly on Wed 8th July on the Conservative Motion:
The National Assembly for Wales
1. Recognises that it is vital for services for disabled children and young people to be provided in a prompt and timely manner
2. Notes with concern the current levels of delay in providing paediatric wheelchairs across Wales.
3. Calls on the Welsh Assembly Government to invest sufficiently in paediatric wheelchair services to meet the current standards set out in the Children's National Service Framework .
To coincide with the debate the DCMW campaign is holding a lunchtime reception at the Assembly. Please accept our apologies for the short notice .
We are looking for as many families to attend as possible as well as parent groups, voluntary organisations and professionals.
We will be in a position to cover some travelling cost for families but please contact us first for more information on this.
We are also looking for families that are willing to give interviews to the media on this important subject.
For more information please contact Keith Bowen at keith.bowen@cafamily.org.uk or ring him on 01792 390203
