Annotation	The distinction between fully funded NHS continuing care and means-tested social care has become increasingly blurred. This has been marked by a string of legal challenges and by recurrent involvement of the Health Services Ombudsman. The Department of Health (DH) has issued a consultation on a national framework for continuing care and NHS funded nursing care. This article evaluates whether the framework addresses the key failings of the current system, and whether it will resolve the long-standing inequities, complexity and confusion. (RH).
