Cumbria Equipment Retailers Service - Supply of Care Equipment for Daily Living (Simple Aids by Prescription) Framework

Notice Description

A 4 year framework is being developed for Cumbria Equipment Retailers Service - Supply of Care Equipment for Daily Living (Simple Aids by Prescription).

Practitioners issue prescriptions for equipment from an approved equipment list. Issuing practitioners can include occupational therapists from the Council and nurses and OTs from the NHS. Users can redeem Cumbrian prescriptions at retailers' premises. Practitioners can also prescribe delivery and fit as necessary for the customer.
