| Annotation | This document outlines future provision of continuing health care in Camden and Islington, as required by Department of Health (DoH) guidance, `NHS responsibilities for meeting continuing health care needs', HSG(95)8. It focuses particularly on services for frail older people, older people with mental health problems, and younger adults with physical disabilities and chronic illness (including people with HIV/AIDS). This document considers the following types of care: rehabilitation and recovery services; palliative health care; continuing in-patient care; respite health care; specialist therapy, medical and nursing support for people in nursing and residential care homes and in the community; community health services for people at home or in residential care homes; and specialist transport. In a previous consultation, comments were sought on the following key issues: eligibility criteria; the removal of catchmenting of inpatient services; a strategic shift of resources from hospital continuing care beds to community-based provision; ceilings on levels of health authority funding available for home care; and an independent review procedure.
