| Annotation | In the controversial area of continuing care, social services need to know how health authorities are defining their responsibilities - while for service users, clear and accurate information on eligibility criteria is essential but all too rare. This article reviews two recent publications on continuing care. The first - from the Department of Health NHS Executive - analyses recent documents from health authorities, as to the nature of their policies, eligibility criteria and information available to the public. The other, from the National Consumer Council (NCC), 'Finding out about NHS continuing care', gives a consumer perspective on locally published health authority information. |
