| Annotation | Continuing care has changed dramatically over past 10 to 15 years. In February 1995, the Department of Health (DoH) issued guidance HSG(95)8 relating to NHS (National Health Service) responsibilities for long-term care. This article reports on the findings of a study, which suggests that although health authorities have been required to consider specific policy areas, the guidance has not led to a reversal of NHS withdrawal from long-term care. Under present funding systems, the reprovision of health care to the community is affecting the rights of older people and others to receive free long-term care. |
