Does NHS Wales provide wigs on prescription for young people impacted by alopecia?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care | Answered on 26/09/2024
GPs can refer people with more severe hair loss caused by alopecia to dermatology services or directly to surgical appliance departments to be provided with a wig. In such cases, the surgical appliances department will provide the individual with information about where to access wigs from an NHS procured supplier.
