Information on Joint Funding and NHS Continuing Healthcare for practitioners
The North Central London Clinical Commissioning Group joint funding policy applies when an individual over 18 is assessed as not eligible for continuing healthcare funding however specific identified needs are beyond the powers of the local authority to meet. NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is a health and social care package solely funded by the NHS. It is free and non-means tested for individuals who are eligible to CHC.
Further information can be found in the National Framework for NHS CHC and NHS Funded Nursing Care as well as in the North Central London Clinical Commissioning Group Joint Funding Policy.
