Home Oxygen Service

The Home Oxygen Service (HOS) supports nearly 90,000 patients across England. It is currently being improved to:

  • Provide a better quality all-round service to patients, including systematic review and assessment of their condition
  • Put the service under local NHS control to ensure it is accountable to local needs
  • Reduce waste and improve the value for money for the NHS

These web pages provide information and support primarily for the NHS, suppliers and clinicians currently involved in HOS management.

Patients are advised that key information is being developed specifically for them on the existing service and will soon be available on the NHS Choices website.
