To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

2. Welcomes the ‘one-day inquiry on wheelchair services in Wales’ to be undertaken by the Health and Social Care Committee; and

 

3. Calls on the Welsh Government to:

 

a) give a greater priority to tackling upgrade and repair delays, together with the initial provision of a wheelchair, particularly for children; and
