| Annotation | A national framework for determining criteria to qualify for NHS-funded continuing health care was issued in 2007 and revised in July 2009 for England and Wales. The British Geriatrics Society (BGS) welcomes this policy aimed at improving equity in the provision of fully funded care. This Best Practice Guide defines NHS continuing health care and NHS-funded nursing care; and outlines models of service provision, the geriatrician's roles and responsibilities. The web version of this document alerts the user to other online references, for example on practical issues on the delivery of the policy. (RH). |
