The Health Committee gives its view on the principal recommendations of the report of the public inquiry into the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust undertaken by Robert Francis QC. The Committee considers the need for an open and transparent NHS, and comments on Robert Francis' recommendations for imposition of a statutory obligation to observe a duty of candour; for all directors of healthcare organisations to be truthful in any information given to a healthcare regulator or commissioner; and that it should be made a criminal offence for any registered medical practitioner, nurse, allied health professional or director of an authorised or registered healthcare organisation to provide informaton that knowingly misleads or is dishonest to patients, nearest relatives, regulator or commissioner (i.e. the Care Quality Commission, CQC)). The Committee discusses concerns about whistleblowers and compromise agreements at the CQC; also the case of Gary Walker, formerly Chief Executive of United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, who had been prevented from discussing public issues relating to patient safety. Other sections of the report consider the NHS and its patients; nursing healthcare assistant staff and the NHS; and the future of regulation, including the role of the CQC and a Chief Inspector of Hospitals, and death certificate reform. Robert Francis recommended that the Committee should, through its programme of regular accountability hearings, monitor the implementation of his recommendations and the development of cultural change in the NHS. Legislation proposed by the Government in response to certain of his recommendations is contained in Part 2 of the Care Bill The Committee recommends that the Government respond to its report in good time for the response to be discussed at that Bill’s Second Reading in the House of Commons.

NHS continuing care means fully funded care for people who do not require care in an NHS acute hospital, but who nevertheless require a high degree of ongoing health care. Anybody can qualify for NHS continuing care funding if their needs satisfy eligibility criteria, although the largest group of people who receive continuing care funding are elderly people. Continuing care funding is intended to cover the entire costs of care, including all medical care, nursing care, personal care, living costs and accommodation costs, the same as if their care was being provided in an NHS hospital. Eligibility for continuing care funding is currently established with reference to criteria introduced by the Department of Health in 1995. The criteria relate to the complexity, intensity or unpredictability of a patient's healthcare needs, requiring the regular supervision of a consultant, specialist nurse or other member of the NHS multidisciplinary team. From 1995 onwards, individual Health Authorities were each required to develop local policies and eligibility criteria for continuing care funding within this general framework.
