Sue.

Good morning.

I found your comments regarding the issuing of Epics very interesting.

It has given me food for thought and I wondered if you would be kind enough to give the following information either by an e-mail or via my fax number 01634 401065.

how many active patients have you?
how many Epics/Epiocs do you issue annually?
what is your assessment process?
can I have a copy of your criteria for supply of electric wheelchairs?
if possible can you let me know your budget allocation for electric wheelchairs, including staffing and spare parts for maintenance and repair.
do you carry out a PPM programme and if so is the annually?

Many thanks and regards.

I find it hard to believe that the EPIC is still in circulation. We are in the 21st century so why on earth are managers still bothering with this outdated type of chair. If you just purchased EPIOCs you would save in the long run on timeand energy of staff alone in the allocation process.

Come on you lot - change the whole system

PLEASE!
