NHS in Trouble?
The NHS has long received negative press about care and continuing care responsibilities. There have been heated debates since the NHS started out, because there is no outline as to what social care is and what health care is.
Since the 2003 report there has been a clear outline on NHS continuing care, this being that there is a single set of criteria for an area and that some patients can appeal by way of writing to the SHA if they are struck off.
This new report is hoped to bring some form of peace treaty where the NHS and continuing care are concerned.

Continuing Healthcare
Research has shown that people in one area are more likely to get continuing healthcare than people in another area.
This is all about to change according to the Government. They are bringing in a new order that is to be unveiled in June that will “standardise decisions on who is eligible”
Continuing healthcare mainly applies to people in nursing homes so is unfair to allow one postcode more likely to receive healthcare than others, so this new order is set to improve healthcare nationwide and allow people a fairer service.
