Incontinence supplies for disabled - any advice?

[YogaLite]

Does anyone know whether this can be obtained on prescription or via NHS/social services?
Or is it always over the counter?

My son was entitled to free nappys he was over the age of 5. And we had a free months delivered to the door. For several years This was done initially through my gp. Ring them after the Easter holidays

For a child or an adult?

You can get it prescribed but it’s usually a limited and/or a specific product only. A lot of people end up either having to buy more or better supplies themselves.

My mother is sent Tena pants once a month but not enough to last the month. They were ordered via the GP. We have to buy her the rest.

Your GP surgery should be able to refer to continence services.

I think you should be able to get supplies on prescription you need to contact your gp.

It's for young adult.
Awaiting the referral to the consultant but GP hasn't suggested anything, I didn't think to ask them directly then and there.

Ring the surgery on Tuesday ask for a .advice and a prescription .

If you google your local authority continence service you should be able to find out whether you need a healthcare referral or can self refer. They will do an assessment (you usually need to keep a diary for a few days of how much liquid you drink, how often you use the toilet etc) and then you may be prescribed pads. My mother had Tena pads sent to her - about 4 a day from memory.

Yes there should be a service that provides them (usually through a specialist nurse) but as previous posters have said, they don’t tend to give you enough

I'm sure they can be on prescription, or use DLA/ PIP money as that is for extra costs of being disabled.

My son is almost 8 and he gets what he needs through the incontinence service which was a referral from the GP.

Thank you all, much appreciated.

My parents both had this on NHS via community nurse at GP practice . They were delivered in bulk to their home .

Thank u, I have found the contact for the relevant local authority service and will contact them next week.
