NHS add VAT to additions to wheel chairs

Did you know that if you have additions or alterations made to your wheel chair then you are obligued to pay VAT on top of paying the full cost of the applied service. It appears this specific service is run as a private business concern.

Further, if you return the chair back to the NHS you do not get the additions back or any financial renumeration. However, being the NHS they will continue to maintain and repair the chair free of charge.

It just seems to be a level of bazaarness to this set up. Maybe someone here might be able to share some NHS logic.

  • Lol.....wisdom of ages past. What strikes me as strange is that the NHS is beginning to advertise itself as a private business.

    When I reflect a little, I have had certain treatments from private providers within the 'free health service' and some of the provision appears to be lacking in any compassion.
