| Annotation | The documents in this consultation detail the proposals for a National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care in England. This National Framework has two main purposes. Firstly, it sets out a single policy on who should receive NHS funding, be that fully funded NHS continuing healthcare (where the NHS funds the whole care package), or NHS-funded nursing care (where the NHS is responsible for the nursing required from a registered nurse in a care home). Secondly, it proposes a standard process for assessing eligibility for these services, to help support consistent decision-making. Responses to the consultation (which ends on 22 September 2006) should be sent to: Simon Medcalf,. Department of Health, Room 116, Wellington House, 133-155 Waterloo Road, London SE1 8UG. (Fax 020 7972 4202; Email national.continuing.care@dh.gsi.gov.uk). This consultation document and accompanying items can be downloaded from the Department of Health (DH) website. Also available are: a slide show presentation (powerpoint); a decision support tool; and Public consultation events schedule. (KJ/RH) |
