    Having a nurse give an injection is a health need but not a primary health need. There are hundreds of thousands, millions even that are in that position. A primary health need is where your need for health care is more than your need for social and any other other care. If you were in a nursing home all the nursing care is paid for by the NHS anyway and is £267.68 a week.

    Can I suggest you consider getting an Alexa and setting up reminders to tell you to take your meds then you won't forget. I was always forgetting mine but I don't since I got one

    In my area community visiting nurses can do insulin injections, carers calling in can check & supervise you taking other pills. So needing those things wouldn't qualify you for CHC funding, the bar is very high.

    It’s Medisafe. Sure it was £30 quid for the year after the free trial.
