Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 18 April 2024 to Question 21490 on Prosthetics, how many prosthetic limbs are produced by the 35 NHS commissioned prosthetic centres; whether the prostheses produced are of the highest market standard; who the NHS commissioned prosthetic centre providers are; and how many patients are waiting for prosthetic limbs from the NHS.
Answered by Andrew Stephenson - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
The prosthetic centres do not produce limbs. Limbs, and the components thereof, are supplied through the NHS Supply Chain, directly from the manufacturers. The NHS Supply Chain ensures that all regulatory quality assurance requirements are met.
National Health Service prosthetic providers do not hold a waiting list for the provision of limbs. Patients will be assessed and prescribed an appropriate limb, when clinically appropriate, following amputation. This will depend on the time required for the residual limb to heal to allow a prosthesis to be fitted, and will vary between patients. NHS England commissions 35 prosthetic centres, which are listed below:
- Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust;
