<p>Data on NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) payments is not held currently, but NHS
England collects data on the total number of cases eligible for NHS CHC during each
year. This includes newly eligible individuals and individuals who were already eligible
at the start of the period. The following table provides the total numbers eligible
for both Standard and Fast Track NHS CHC for the years 2015/16 to 2018/19. ‘Category
of payment’ has been interpreted to mean the split of total NHS CHC by Standard NHS
CHC and Fast Track.</p><p>Data relating to 2010/11 has not been included as formal
mandatory data collection was not in place at this time and is therefore not comparable
to the more robust data collected subsequently.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td

</p><p>Data relating to 2010/11 has not been included as formal mandatory data collection
was not in place at this time and is therefore not comparable to the more robust data
collected subsequently. In addition, 2010/11 data pre-dates the existence of CCGs
and relates to primary care trusts, meaning that comparison at organisational level
is not possible.</p>
