Hi,
I started this list to try to create a list of the pumps available on the NHS in each different part of the UK.
I did this because I found it SOOO difficult to find a simple list of pumps that have been approved by the NHS?
I found a list, but it is woefully out of date (early 2018) and there doesn't seem to be a central list of CCG (clinical commissioning groups) and what hardware they will support.
Talking to other people on this Forum, i find it amazing that this information is not more readily available.
Some people say that their CCG only provide 1 single pump. My CCG provides a choice of 6 pumps (but still doesn't have the one i like!).
It would seem better that all CCG's would supply any pump that is approved by the NHS. Clearly they don't, so the question is why? I am sure that there must be a reason, and presumably it is a good one.
As people are constantly coming onto this forum asking "what is the best pump" and "does anyone have any experience of this/that pump" it is safe to assume that they have been given a list of the different pumps available in there area.
Thanks
