Who can get equipment from the CES?
To be eligible to get equipment from the CES, you need to:

You also need to be assessed by an authorised health or social care professional to see what equipment you need.
How to get equipment
Your local NHS service (usually an occupational therapist, physiotherapist or nurse) or Adult Social Care team at Surrey County Council can organise the equipment for you if you are eligible.
The relevant professional will order suitable equipment. You cannot order equipment directly from the CES.
