If I complete the General Needs assessment and appear eligible, what happens nex

On receipt of a completed assessment social services will make an electronic record of the information received. This will mean that we will retain copies within the organisation of the information you give. The assessment will be reviewed by the local social services team. If a person is eligible for minor equipment an occupational therapist will arrange for the equipment to be provided. We will aim to have these in place within seven working days after we have reviewed and agreed your assessment.
We will always make an appointment with you to arrange delivery and fitting of equipment or for fitting of adaptations.
