Annual reviews of NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) funding can feel stressful, especially when you’re worried that your loved one’s care could be reduced or withdrawn.

If their healthcare needs have not changed, it’s important that this is clearly reflected during the review process.

Annual reviews should focus on whether the current care package continues to meet the person’s assessed needs, not simply whether funding can be reduced.
