<p>The National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care
sets out in paragraph 185 that, where an individual is eligible for NHS Continuing
Healthcare (CHC), the integrated care board (ICB) is responsible for care planning,
commissioning services, and case management. The ICB is responsible for planning strategically,
specifying outcomes, procuring services, and managing demand and provider performance
in relation to CHC. The services commissioned must include ongoing case management,
including review or reassessment of the individual’s needs.</p><p>NHS England holds
ICBs accountable, and engages with them to ensure that they discharge their functions
via timely and well-established assurance mechanisms. The national framework also
sets out that those in receipt of CHC continue to be entitled to access to the full
range of primary, community, secondary, and other health services.</p>
