The Government is determined to establish a simpler, fairer and more coherent system of assessment to determine eligibility for NHS funding of long-term care outside hospitals. The documents published in this consultation detail the proposals for a National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care in England. This National Framework has two main purposes: Firstly, it sets out a single policy on who should receive NHS funding, be that fully funded NHS Continuing Healthcare (where the NHS funds the whole care package) or NHS-funded Nursing Care (where the NHS is responsible for the nursing required from a registered nurse in a care home). Secondly, it proposes a standard process for assessing eligibility for these services, to help support consistent decision-making.

This document summarises the key proposals for change in the context facing health and social care (HSC) in Northern Ireland and forms the basis for a public consultation on the future of care provision. The report provides details on why there is a compelling need for change and outlines proposals in response to the ‘Review of Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland, Transforming Your Care’ (2011). The discussion of proposals, what they mean and what significant local implications they may have is structured around a set of thematic areas, including population health and wellbeing, delivering services at home and in the community (integrated care partnerships), older people, long term conditions, palliative and end of life care, mental health, learning disability, physical disability and sensory impairment, family and child care, maternity and child health, acute care in hospitals, and the links with the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain. The document also discusses what changes are needed to support the implementation of these proposals, the possible implications for the workforce and organisation, for the finance, for technology advances.
