This demand conlinues to come from various strands of the health service with referrals from minor injury untts. Occupational Therapists, Emergency Departments. G.Ps and others. As demand for services rises year on year. additional equipment is required lo meet the need. Dunng the past year Shopmobility Mid Ulster purchased 3 additional mobilty scooters and 5 additional wheelchairs and elevated leg rests. This equipment is used to meet rising demand and help lo ensure Ihe fleet is maintained to a high standard. The rising demand from users who wsh to get out and about more has been growing since the end of the pandemic.
