The law of NHS continuing healthcare is vital in deciding whether adults in long-term care get full NHS funding, or have to fund themselves. This essential guide through the NHS legal maze provides information for health and social care practitioners, who need to make well-informed, well-judged decisions for the care of patients and service users.

Qty:

This authoritative guide to the law of continuing healthcare provides clarity on a contentious issue for those in long-term care: which adults are eligible for full NHS funding, as opposed to self-funded social care.

Written by seasoned legal expert Michael Mandelstam, it provides practitioners with clear information on both the letter and spirit of the law, written in an accessible style suitable for a wide range of health and social care practitioners. The book gives all the need-to-knows in a handy A-Z format for quick reference, including key legal rules, guidance and case law.

It contains also an extended analysis, with detailed evidence, of NHS continuing healthcare over the last 30 years up to the present. This is critical in order to understand why the rules are so complex, confusing and sometimes disregarded, and why decisions can seem counter-intuitive, unfair and difficult to challenge.

The book is essential reading to assist the making of decisions that are fair, lawful and transparent.
