I am calling for an urgent and comprehensive review of the NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) system. I believe that the Continuing Healthcare (CHC) process is flawed, inefficient, and can place an unnecessary burden on families.

Government to review the Continuing Healthcare (CHC) funding model for home care
The current level of funding provided to families through direct payments makes it extremely difficult to recruit staff and deliver essential care, often pushing families into crisis. At present, families can only offer less than half of what can be paid to a care agency.
Change review process for ongoing benefits for people with lifelong disabilities
Allow workers in the DWP to review the available case notes for people who have lifelong disabilities rather than require people with lifelong disabilities and their carers to attend repeated reviews.
Public inquiry: NHS care standards for the elderly, disabled & chronically ill
Commission an independent public inquiry into NHS care standards for elderly, disabled, and chronically ill patients, including access to treatment, safeguarding, discharge practices, clinical decision-making, and whether financial pressures are compromising patient safety and dignity.
