Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the availability of activity blades for amputees over 18.

Prosthetics services are overseen by NHS England. They do not commission activity blades for amputees over 18 years old, and have no current plans change this.

Currently, NHS England provides adult amputees primary prostheses, activity limbs, and adaptations for non-competitive sports, but does not extend this support to high-end sports-specific prosthetics necessary for competitive-level participation.
