answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2024 answer text <p>Operational delivery of NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is the responsibility of the integrated care boards (ICBs), with oversight from NHS England. The National Framework makes clear that ICBs are expected to reach a decision in most cases within 28 days of being notified of an individual’s potentially eligibility. Further information on the National Framework is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-framework-for-nhs-continuing-healthcare-and-nhs-funded-nursing-care" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-framework-for-nhs-continuing-healthcare-and-nhs-funded-nursing-care</a></p><p>All ICBs must have a CHC local resolution process in place, in order to support individuals who may wish to challenge a decision. NHS England has provided best practice guidance to ICBs, outlining how local resolution should operate. This includes a recommendation that ICBs should complete a request for a local review within three months of receipt. Where it has not been possible to resolve the matter, the individual may apply to NHS England for an independent review of the decision.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 22/05/2024 09:22:44 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2022 answer text <p>NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) eligibility is not condition or diagnosis specific. When an individual is in receipt of CHC, national guidance stipulates that their care plan should be reviewed at least once a year, to ensure their needs continue to be met appropriately. The frequency of the reviews should be proportionate to the circumstances. In the majority of cases and where needs remain complex, there will be no need to reassess an individual’s eligibility for CHC as part of these reviews.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 24/11/2022 12:49:50 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2022 answer text <p>Integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for decisions on eligibility for NHS Continuing Healthcare based on the recommendation of a multidisciplinary team, which includes health and social care professionals. Those decisions are made in accordance with the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care.</p><p>NHS England holds ICBs to account for how these responsibilities are discharged, including ensuring there is a timely assurance process. In addition, where an individual disagrees with the outcome of an assessment for NHS Continuing Healthcare, there is a three-stage appeals process.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 20/10/2022 14:51:56 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
