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.
The Casey Commission are currently developing recommendations which will inform the Government's plan to improve England’s social care system.
Right now, we have a crucial opportunity to make sure transforming NHS CHC is a central part of that plan.
12 charities have come together to call on Yvette Cooper, the Health and Social Care Secretary, to fix NHS CHC funding now.
This Autumn, we'll deliver the petition directly to the Department of Health and Social Care.
Thank you. Over 25,000 people have added their signature to help us build a stronger case for change.
