CODE OF PRACTICE FOR ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY

That this House welcomes the Office of Fair Trading's full approval of a consumer code of practice for the assistive technology and healthcare industry to be regulated by the British Healthcare Trades Association; and notes that each year 15 million people depend on assisted technology to enable a better quality of life and that the code will provide them with reassurance that products and services are of the highest value and will give consumers a robust method of complaint.
