Mobility scooter provision
Mobility scooters can be helpful if you are struggling with your mobility and can help you to get out and about e.g. to go shopping, to get out in your garden and to go on days out. Using a mobility scooter from time to time can also be a helpful way to conserve your energy and manage fatigue levels. Mobility scooters are not generally available via the NHS. It is recommended that you try out a mobility scooter before you buy it to make sure you feel safe and happy driving it.
