Community equipment boost for Carmarthenshire
Since October 2009, council and health staff staff in Carmarthenshire have delivered more than 20,000 items of community equipment, and collected 7,000 items back from service users when the items were no longer needed.
But in order to ensure the service can operate efficiently, members of the public are being asked to arrange collection of the items so that they can be cleaned, checked and re-issued.
Martin Figg, Single Operational Manager of the service, said: “In order to ensure that we continue to be able to supply all the equipment that is needed in the community, it is vital that any equipment no loner required is collected as soon as possible.
“When we are made aware that there is equipment out in the community that is not being used, we can arrange for collection so that they can be re-issued, or we can trigger an equipment re-assessment.
“By working together, we can ensure that the service is able to meet the continued demand.”
