Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what proportion of the budget of NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS funded Nursing Care is spent on pensioners.

NHS England does not collect data on how much NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and National Health Service-funded Nursing Care funding is spent on ‘pensioners’, defined here as someone who is in receipt of a pension. Determination of CHC eligibility is based on a comprehensive assessment of care needs rather than any specific medical condition, disease or diagnosis.
