The healthcare supplier which provides NHS wheelchairs in York and North Yorkshire has entered liquidation.

Nottingham Rehab Limited, which trades as NRS Healthcare, is being wound up after a court appointed the official receiver, Gareth Jonathan Allen, as liquidator on Friday (August 1).

The NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) has a contract with NRS Healthcare to provide wheelchair services in York and North Yorkshire.

An NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board spokesperson told The Press: “Wheelchair service users in York and North Yorkshire should continue to contact NRS in the usual way."

The official receiver will help transfer the wheelchair services to a new provider once its new contract arrangements are in place with the ICB.

It is understood that discussions between the ICB and alternative providers are ongoing.

Following an application made by Mr Allen, the court appointed Mark James Tobias Banfield, Edward Williams, Helen Laura Wheeler-Jones, Adam Seres and David James Kelly of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as special managers of the companies.

The special managers have been appointed to assist the official receiver with the liquidations.   

Mr Allen will wind-up the companies in accordance with his statutory duties, the Insolvency Service said.
