DDICB Position statement – Derbyshire Wheelchair service

NHS Derby and Derbyshire ICB (DDICB) commission and manage the contract for the Derbyshire Wheelchair service.

DDICB are aware that there have been waits for wheelchair services and have been working to reduce these waits. DDICB understand how essential these services are to your mobility and independence, and we sincerely apologise for any delay you may be experiencing.

AJ Mobility Limited (trading as AJM Healthcare) is no longer providing the Derbyshire Wheelchair service. As from 1st April 2025, Blatchford Limited are our new service provider, they are responsible for assessments, wheelchair provision, repairs, and ongoing support.

To help address these waits, Blatchford Limited, are working in collaboration with DDICB to carry out a detailed review of the current service. The aim of this review is to better understand the waits and to identify the necessary actions to address the waits and improve access. 

DDICB appreciate how important it is for people to receive timely support, and alongside Blatchford Limited we are jointly committed to making the improvements needed to reduce waiting times and enhance patient experience.
