During the COVID-19 emergency period, National Health Service Continuing Healthcare (CHC) assessments have not been required due to changes made under section 14 of the Coronavirus Act 2020. The Secretary of State is keeping measures under review.

The Department is working closely with NHS England and NHS Improvement to agree a date for the resumption of CHC assessments. On agreement, restart guidance will be published and shared with clinical commissioning groups.
