The service will assess children, young people and adults, and provide wheelchairs and all associated equipment as appropriate based on broad categories of need, in line with the agreed Eligibility Criteria. The combined registered population of the 4 CCGs is 1,003,439. Of these, 19,029 (1.9%) are currently registered with the Wheelchair Service. The health and social care system in Derbyshire has come together as "Joined Up Care Derbyshire", to transform the health and well-being of the local population, and ensure that the right services are delivered in a sustainable way. A key focus of this work is supporting people to remain independent. Locally delivered, proactive care will ensure that needs are identified and solutions put into place at an early stage, reducing the need for crisis-led reactive care. There will be a significant shift in resources from acute settings to multi-disciplinary teams, coordinating care in local "places". The provider will work collaboratively as part of the wider health and social system to ensure that the Wheelchair Service is fully embedded into this new way of working.
