The government is giving £9 million to help people with sickle cell disease. This money will improve special machines and services.

Spectra Optia machines help by swapping bad blood cells for healthy ones, making people with sickle cell feel better and spend less time in hospital.
More money will help hospitals get machines and offer care day and night. More staff will learn to use the machines.
Sickle cell disease mainly affects Black African, Caribbean, and South Asian people. About 17,000 in England have it. New treatments are being made.
This change helps people with sickle cell get care closer to home, which is good for those far from special hospitals.
