To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to help people who suffer from Cerebral palsy to equipment to aid walking.
It is for clinical commissioning groups and local authorities to commission services that best meet the needs of their populations, including those with cerebral palsy. There are numerous mobility aids to assist walking and help with mobility limitations associated with cerebral palsy such as orthotic devices worn externally to improve and strengthen mobility, walkers, crutches, walking sticks and canes. Some do not require a prescription or the approval of a doctor to be purchased. An orthopaedic surgeon, orthotist or physical/occupational therapist should evaluate the patient’s condition to determine what support they need.
