Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to increase the support his Department provides to people dependant on a ventilator at home.

The Government’s cost of living support includes £15 billion to support the most vulnerable, including those using ventilators in their homes. Specific National Health Service specialised services also grant financial rebates to meet energy costs, including home oxygen concentrators.  NHS England is working with regional teams and integrated care systems to identify funding to address increases in energy costs incurred through the use of medical equipment in the home.
