<p>The England Infected Blood Support Scheme (EIBSS) does not currently have direct
support provisions for palliative care arrangements. EIBSS does however support beneficiaries
to manage their health conditions via discretionary one-off payments.</p><p>Discretionary
one-off payments are a form of financial support that beneficiaries and bereaved spouses/partners
may apply for to cover the cost of certain essential, health-related items or services.</p><p>Some
examples of the one-off payments we support are for home adaptations and repairs to
support an individual’s medical conditions, assisting with respite breaks to aid recovery
from periods of ill health and supporting the attendance of appointments by providing
payments for car repairs and travel costs.</p><p>A full list of the items or services
currently supported through EIBSS is available on the NHS Business Services Authority
website at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/support-scheme-members/discretionary-support-scheme"
