Continuing Care
Tuesday 8th November 2016

Asked by: Baroness Massey of Darwen (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether NHS-funded continuing healthcare is available for hospice patients receiving palliative care; and what distinction, if any, is drawn between patients in hospices and those in nursing homes in determining the availability of continuing healthcare.

Answered by Lord Prior of Brampton

Eligibility for NHS Continuing Healthcare (NHS CHC) is not limited by the setting in which the package of support can be offered or by the type of service delivery.

When making decisions about eligibility for NHS CHC there is no distinction drawn between individuals residing in hospices and those in nursing homes.
