It struck me as extraordinary, when I spoke to this mother, that she was waiting for over a year for an assessment. Is the Department aware that we have young girls with curved spines who are no longer able to sit in their own wheelchairs, sitting on the floor, waiting for a year for an assessment for a new wheelchair? Is the Department aware that is the level of the crisis?
