What is the difference between NHS continuing healthcare and NHS-funded nursing care?
‘NHS Continuing Healthcare’ is a package of care arranged and funded solely by the National Health Service for a person aged 18 or over to meet physical or mental health needs which have arisen as a result of illness. NHS funded nursing care, introduced in October 2001, is the funding provided by the NHS to care homes to support the provision of nursing care by a registered nurse for those who are assessed as eligible.
