Annotation	With the imminent publication of the Government's revised framework on continuing healthcare, the chair of a strategic health authority (SHA) appeals panel sets out why two court judgments should pave the way for much greater access to funding than potential new statutory guidance. Both rulings concern how continuing health care (CHC) eligibility criteria were incorrectly applied: the Coughlan judgment (R v North and East Devon Health Authority ex parte Pamela Coughlan) in the Court of Appeal in 1999; and the Grogan judgment (R v Bexley NHS Care Trust ex parte Grogan) in the High Court in 2006.
