To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of the support available to help people to manage the rising fuel costs associated with their home-based medical equipment for chronic conditions.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of the support available to help people to manage the rising fuel costs associated with their home-based medical equipment for chronic conditions.
On 26 May 2022, the Government announced further support and specific additional payments for the most vulnerable including the elderly, people with disabilities and low-income households. The majority of households, including those home users of medical equipment for chronic conditions, will receive support worth £550 to help with rising cost of living and energy. Almost eight million of the most vulnerable households will receive at least £1,200.
While some local commissioners may provide additional support relating to home treatments, there is not currently a uniform national policy for NHS England to reimburse additional utility costs. However, the Government is considering further measures to help those facing rising energy costs and further information will be available in due course.
