Wing,
Warning I'm not a doctor, I'm a pharmacist, so I'm sure that someone will
correct me if I'm wrong.

If wanting to buy one then contact the local pharmacy who should be able to
obtain a catalogue of prices from one of their usual suppliers AAH or
UNICHEM. This should give a ball park figure. DON'T BUY one though, the
selection will be limited. Probably best bet is for an assessment by an
occupational therapist to sort out the best type for that patient.

Free from the NHS (Social Services?) but back to point one. The best type
probably wont be available without a waiting list, the occupational
therapist should be able to put the parents in contact with a supplier.
