Continuing Health Care ‐ Where Now in the Continuum of Care?

Abstract

This special issue emphasises how the ‘whole system’ of care is becoming even more complex. With the pending implementation of the Community Care (Delayed Discharges etc) Act 2003, there are pressures on strategic health authorities and local councils to reach agreement on eligibility criteria for continuing health care. But in the wake of a special report from the Health Service Ombudsman, there is still plenty of room for debate about the lawfulness of the criteria.
