Coming Soon - get your aids and equipment on prescription!

In August, RBKC announced that people would be able to receive a "prescription" for a small piece of equipment or aids, rather than having this piece of equipment provided by the Community Stores. (see article on the PB blog http://personalbudgetskc.blogspot.com/2011/08/rbkc-community-equipment-changes.html).

This would allow people not only  to get equipment, sometimes on the very same day, from a supplier that they trust, but also they would be able to "top-up" with their own money if they want something that looks less clinical (for example a patterned walking stick rather than just a plain wooden one!!)

ADKC is interested in being one of the authorised supplies meaning that, if this goes ahead, people could chose to come to ADKC to receive their particular aid / piece of equipment! The PB Team - Martha and Jenny H - will be finding out more about this "retail model" on the evening of 17th October. So watch this space to find out more information!
