PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Dialysis Machines: Energy (19 May 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many patients receiving haemodialysis at home received partial reimbursement from the NHS for the resulting energy costs in the financial year (a) 2021-22, (b) 2020-21 and (c) 2019-20.

Asked by:
Feryal Clark (Labour)

The information requested is not held centrally. Reimbursements are made by the patient’s host provider hospital, with NHS England meeting additional direct utility costs through the payment of the national tariff to the provider. NHS England is promoting awareness of these arrangements with regional commissioning teams, providers of renal services and renal networks to ensure that eligible patients are alerted.
