This document contains the results of four investigations into complaints about the way in which health authorities set and applied their eligibility criteria for NHS funding for the continuing care of older and disabled people. The report recommends a review of the national guidance on eligibility for continuing NHS healthcare, making it much clearer in new guidance the situations when the NHS must provide funding and those where it is left to the discretion of NHS bodies locally. This guidance may need to include detailed definitions of terms used and case examples of patterns of need likely to mean NHS funding should be provided.
