“PURPOSE
The purpose of the Wheelchair Service Provision Guide is to provide an appropriate
framework for identifying the essential steps in the provision of a wheelchair. It is designed for
use by all participants in the provision process including consumers, family members,
caregivers, social service and health care professionals, suppliers, manufacturers, funding
source personnel and policy makers. This Guide does not specifically address requirements
associated with any particular funding source. It provides guidance regarding when funding
issues should be addressed in the process, and how to address them with the client, so that he or
she is able to make informed decisions”.
