I go round the hospital in my scooter, don't know where I would be without it!
Frizzy, I'm a little late with an answer, your local wheelchair services will provide a suitable chair for you, even if you only use it in the hospital to see your dad. Google to find your local Wheelchair Services. Good luck
In US they definitely do. Too high risk for Liability to not let visitors use a Wheelchair.
Hope this helps.
@A MyMSTeam Member - Knew you and guys would have all the answers xx
