\n Nottingham Rehab Limited, which trades as NRS\u202fHealthcare, is being wound up after a court appointed the official receiver, Gareth Jonathan Allen, as liquidator on Friday (August 1).\n<\/p>\n
\n The NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) has a contract with NRS Healthcare to provide wheelchair services in York and North Yorkshire.\n<\/p>\n
\n An NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board spokesperson told The Press: \u201cWheelchair service users in York and North Yorkshire should continue to contact NRS in the usual way.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The official receiver will help transfer the wheelchair services to a new provider\u00a0once its new contract arrangements are in place with the ICB.\n<\/p>\n
\n It is understood that discussions between the ICB and alternative providers are ongoing.\n<\/p>\n
\n Following an application made by Mr Allen, the court appointed Mark James Tobias Banfield, Edward Williams, Helen Laura Wheeler-Jones, Adam Seres and David James Kelly of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as special managers of the companies.\n<\/p>\n
\n The special managers have been appointed to assist the official receiver with the liquidations.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Allen will wind-up the companies in accordance with his statutory duties, the Insolvency Service said.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cHe also has a duty to investigate the cause of each company\u2019s failure and the conduct of current and former directors,\u201d it added.\n<\/p>\n
\n PwC, a London-based professional services firm, said Nottingham Rehab Limited and NRS Healthcare had been \u201cunable to achieve a restructuring and as a result, both have been placed into liquidation\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n The PwC website states that Nottingham Rehab Limited and NRS Healthcare had been \u201cfacing a number of difficulties over the last few months\u201d, adding: \u201cUnfortunately, NRL [Nottingham Rehab Limited] and NRS\u00a0have been unable to achieve a viable solution to save the business.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n It said company employees \u201cstill have a job\u201d and \u201cwill be paid for work done\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIn the meantime we are reviewing next steps and we will communicate on these as soon as we are able,\u201d the PwC website states.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe message is that you should continue to turn up to your normal place of work and continue to take instructions from your line manager unless you are told otherwise.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n Nottingham Rehab Limited\u2019s annual accounts filed on\u00a0Companies House and dated March 31 last year reported an operating\u00a0loss of\u00a0\u00a35.6 million in the relevant period.\n<\/p>\n
\n The company\u2019s directors, however, were \u201csatisfied with the results for the period\u201d, according to the accounts.\n<\/p>\n
\n A government spokesperson said: \u201cWe are working closely with local authorities to keep patients safe, ensure continuity of care and minimise disruption as alternative arrangements are finalised.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThis includes working closely with the Insolvency Service to allow NRS Healthcare to continue trading for a limited period to ensure a smooth transition.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
