| Annotation | This article considers the practical implications of the Department of Health's recent plans to introduce free nursing care in care homes, but especially private care homes. The extent that real change will occur, and especially reductions in payments for such care paid by those affected, is open to question. In particular, the restriction on what constitutes nursing care, i.e. that given by a registered nurse which will exclude the work of care assistants, will probably help minimise such reductions, yet the workload to administer the new funding arrangements will increase significantly.
