Yes.
I work, I want a nice car, I’m willing to pay the extra.
It’s the same with wheelchairs, I want a smart looking high tech wheelchair, the NHS offer only 30+ year old tech wheelchairs that weigh so much they are unsafe to use in some of Work’s lifts & require expensive assistants to get the thing into a car. I simply go out & buy what I want & ignore the NHS, but now we have personal wheelchair budgets it’d be possible to use that pathway if I simply had the time/energy to deal with the NHS bean-counters. For me, being disabled doesn’t mean I have unlimited time on my hands, so I’m willing to throw money at the solution.
