We require suppliers to deliver equipment reliably and at an economical price for Wigan Residents. To maintain our service of 32% of deliveries being delivered the day of request, we need our supplier of ADL equipment to hold and deliver equipment on time. This allows us to maintain our current level of deliveries. Currently we deliver 90% of equipment prescriptions within 3 working days. Support from our suppliers is key to our success.
