LimbPower Statement on the Future of Prosthetic Services

We acknowledge the Prime Minister’s announcement regarding the abolition of NHS England and understand that this may raise concerns within the limb loss and limb difference community about the future of prosthetic services.

LimbPower is committed to advocating on behalf of our beneficiaries to ensure the continuity of vital prosthetic services. We will actively engage with the relevant government departments and stakeholders to safeguard the needs of those who rely on these services.

Our priority remains ensuring that individuals with limb loss and limb difference continue to receive the high-quality care, support, and prosthetic provisions they deserve. We will keep our community informed as further details emerge and work tirelessly to ensure that any changes do not negatively impact access to essential services.

If you have any concerns, please reach out to us—we are here to support you.
