Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to transfer responsibility for the funding provision of nursing home care to the NHS.
This question was answered on 28th January 2020
The Government has no current plans to transfer responsibility for the funding provision of nursing home care to the National Health Service.
The NHS already provides NHS-funded nursing care. This is funding for care homes which supports the provision of nursing care by registered nurses to individuals who are assessed as eligible for funded nursing care.
