They have begun switching from the previous community equipment supplier called NRS, to the new partner called 24-7 HealthcareThis service provides items like walking sticks, bath boards, toilet frames, commodes, pressure mattresses, hoists and bed rails. 
 
They would like to reassure service users that they will continue to support people in the community. 
 
Residents who have equipment at home are being contacted by the councils and NHS partners to let them know directly about these changes. As this process will take a few days, the councils' arrangements with the previous provider is still in place for some services.
