How will the new Home Oxygen Therapy Service work?
In June 2004 the Department of Health announced plans to modernise the domiciliary oxygen service in England and Wales. The new service means that clinicians and patients will only have one supplier for all their oxygen needs – Vitalair, part of BOC Medical, will take full responsibility for patients’ oxygen supplies and will also provide and maintain all oxygen equipment. We will ensure that you and patients have round-the-clock access to expert advice and support in making the best use of the latest oxygen equipment.
