You will need a referral first to NHS wheelchair service. Though i have heard they aren't the best. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/care-services-equipment-and-care-homes/walking-aids-wheelchairs-and-mobility-scooters/

Hi and welcome to the community

There is quite strict criteria to get electric chairs from NHS but they do supply if you meet the criteria

As above you will need to be assessed

Welcome to the community @alans123

Thanks for joining!

I've moved your post into our aids, adaptations, and equipment category to make it easier for other members to find.

Have you had an assessment at all?
