What has changed?
Until 31 March 2026, White Lodge provided NHS-funded specialist therapy for young children aged 0–5 with cerebral palsy or complex neurodevelopmental conditions.
From 1 April 2026, this service transferred to a new, county-wide NHS provider. It is now delivered by Surrey Child and Family Health, run by HCRG Care Group.
This was a commissioning decision made by NHS Surrey Heartlands, not one taken by White Lodge.
What this means for children and families
All children who were receiving support through this service are now being seen by the new provider.
- Children continue to receive the therapy they need
- Support may include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, or a combination of these
- The way services are delivered may differ under the new provider, but individual needs remain central
Families should now contact the new provider directly for any queries or ongoing support.
Our commitment to families
We are incredibly proud of the role White Lodge has played in delivering Children’s Therapy over more than 60 years.
