PMG has recently been invited to join the NHS England National Steering Group for Personal Wheelchair Budgets (PWBs), and we are very fortunate that Dr Linda Marks was able to represent PMG at the first meeting of the Steering Group on 24th October 2016. You can download the terms of reference for the Steering Group here.

Linda is keen to gather comments from PMG members to feedback to the PWBNSG, and wishes to also share with you the 2 presentations given at the meeting.

These are:

Risk and Decision Making

Personal Wheelchair Budget Programme

Please email your comments to olwen.ellis@pmguk.co.uk by 14th November 2016 in the first instance.

PWBs are due to be rolled out in April 2017, and we aim to provide progress reports as often as possible.
