The mobility aid market – have your say

The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has published its emerging key findings on their study into the Mobility Aids Market. Theses findings are based on the information they have received so far from a wide range of interested parties and from the consumer research they commissioned to understand the purchasing experiences of users/purchasers of mobility aids.

The emerging key findings are provisional at this stage. The OFT intends to conclude it’s fact-finding and evidence-gathering by mid-June 2011 and has not at this stage reached any final conclusions. Interested parties are invited to submit any further information supported by evidence. SIA is intending to respond to this consultation and would welcome any of your experiences in purchasing mobility aids and wheelchairs. Please contact us at cfc@spinal.co.uk by Friday the 10^th of June if you would like your experiences or views to be included in our response.
