Lord Clement-Jones

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they will announce the results of the review of domiciliary oxygen services, initiated in March 2000; what conclusions they have reached concerning the provision of ambulatory oxygen for domiciliary use; and whether scope exists to improve the efficiency of domiciliary oxygen through the prescription of conserving devices. [HL3002]

Baroness Andrews

The review of the domiciliary oxygen service is at an advanced stage. It has considered the provision of ambulatory oxygen for domiciliary use and the use of technologies such as conserving devices. We expect to announce our conclusions shortly.
