INTERNATIONAL WHEELCHAIR DAY

In reply to the Hon. K.L. VINCENT (28 March 2012).

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I am advised:

As at 31 March 2012, 160 clinicians have each prescribed at least one customised wheelchair for clients serviced by the Equipment Program in the 2011-12 financial year.

This does not include clinicians who prescribed only 'basic' wheelchairs.
