In England, the Department is responsible for NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) policy and legislation which includes the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care, a copy of which is attached.

The Department has no plans at this time to review the system or operation of CHC in England but we continue to work with our partners, including NHS England which is responsible for oversight of CHC delivery, external organisations and people with lived experience, to monitor CHC implementation.
