This study uses the age range 16-64, and the evidence scoped covered the 10 year period up to December 2004 with the main focus on Scottish publications. The main limitations of the study lie in its short timescale and restricted budget. This has resulted in the omission of unpublished work and the team did not visit specialist libraries or hand search journals. Therefore the material presented in this report is not comprehensive.

This report looks at the state of wheelchair provision to young people. The report finds that a lack of money and a postcode lottery of provision are having a disastrous impact on the lives of many disabled children across the UK. The underfunding means that young people who need wheelchairs are generally only given the most basic of equipment, despite the fact this regularly fails to meet their needs. At the same time, lengthy waiting times for assessments and provision mean that disabled children's life chances and childhoods are even further diminished.
