Hi Rich

There's a thread here about where it's being prescribed. Some areas have said no, some yes with criteria to be met and some including my own are still to decide. It's down to the CCG's whether it's funded in your area or not.

Or if you have any information which we do not have yet, please let us know and we can update the resource for others to check:

Thanks!

It might help to add a key to that map.
ie
Blue available.
Orange not available.
Grey no information.

It might help to consider accessibilty in case of colour blindness.

I’m not colour blind, but I don’t understand the map either without a key.

True, but you can work it out! If you click on the symbol for any area, it tells you if it's yes, no or pending, and if yes, there's a link to the actual local decision.

I'm not fond of blindly clicking on undefined items.

These details did not show up the first time as the map page kept crashing the browser.

I know what you mean, it crashed a couple of times with me just now, but it was working fine when I tried it earlier.
