Will the NHS pay for my wig?

Trevor Sorbie (Director) gives expert video advice on: Where can I get a good wig?; How do I choose a wig that will suit me?; Will the NHS pay for my wig? and more...

My understanding of the NHS is that you can buy, or they will buy you, 2 wigs per year to the value of 50 pounds, which is not a lot. It doesn't really provide a great wig. It depends on what part of the area that you live in this country, believe it or not. I've had clients who've had NHS wigs but they're real hair, and they're really quite expensive wigs. It depends in that area where the local wig shop is, that's where they get the wigs from. If you're in an area that doesn't really have much of a supply, or good supply of wigs, then you're not going to get a great wig. But you can get a great wig in another part of the country that's still NHS. But basically, you're provided 2 wigs a year from the NHS.
