NHS continuing healthcare (CHC) funding can be a lifeline for people with long-term complex health needs and their unpaid carers in England. But many families are missing out this vital funding because the assessment process is flawed.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Right now, you have a critical opportunity to help fix NHS CHC funding once and for all. The Casey Commission is currently developing recommendations to help the UK Government improve England’s social care system.
Together, we must make sure that transforming the NHS CHC process is a central part of the action plan that the Government develops.
12 charities have come together to call on the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to fix the NHS CHC process now.
