Children with disabilities attending vet clinics and pet shops to use chair scales

Mother Ciara Dunne has called for all children’s disability network teams (CDNTs) to be issued with chair scales.

Children with disabilities are being taken to veterinary clinics or pet shops to be weighed due to limited access to specialist chair scales.

One mother, Ciara Dunne, has called for all children’s disability network teams (CDNTs) to be issued with chair scales, saying many parents are also having to turn to nursing homes for help instead.
