Devices for the elderly

Description

OT Equipment. The OT service receives approximately 1 800 referrals per annum, all of which met the criteria of critical or substantial need. 100 % of critical referrals were provided with a service within 2 weeks of referring to the service. To ensure that we maintain this quality of service delivery we need to ensure the equipment we purchase can be provided in a timely manner with an expectation of an order placement to order receipt time of 5 working days. During the previous year we have raised approximately 2,000 orders of which the majority were routine stock replacements but approximately 10 % were classed as urgent orders as they were for equipment required to enable someone to come home from hospital or prevent admission.
