- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of increasing the level of NHS electricity rebate for patients with medical equipment.
- Answer
-
No assessment has been made. Both the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England are supporting the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero’s review of energy rebate schemes that are currently available for users of medical equipment at home.
In addition, certain specialised services such as home Haemodialysis and home oxygen concentrators, do include the provision of financial support to offset energy costs incurred by patients using medical equipment at home.
The Government’s cost of living support package further delivers over £94 billion worth of support over 2022/23 and 2023/24 to help households and individuals with the rising cost of living.
