A man from Manchester claims he's being forced to use a wheelchair which is causing him to have "extreme pain and sores."

Ben Wimbush says Manchester Wheelchair Services aren't providing him with the right equipment, despite his spinal unit confirming he needs a different chair.

A spokesperson for Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust said;

We are very sorry that Mr Wimbush is still having problems with his wheelchair and are working with him to address his concerns. We are taking additional specialist expert advice to ensure that the equipment he has received is safe and appropriate."
