A wheelchair amnesty has been launched by a South Yorkshire health trust.
Staff working within the Wheelchair Service at Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH), say that there are thousands of pounds worth of wheelchairs sat in people?s homes or garages that are no longer needed that could be recycled to help other patients.
Now, they have launched an amnesty, calling on patients who no longer need their wheelchairs, both powered, manual, and buggies ? (a big version of a pushchair used for children with mobility problems) - to get in touch.
