4. BREAKDOWN OF SPENDING PROGRAMME
(continued)
4.5.2 What was expenditure on NHS Continuing
Care in each Strategic Health Authority in the latest available
year, in absolute and per 100,000 population terms? Could the
Department comment on these data? (Q55)
ANSWER
1. The information requested on expenditure
is not collected by the Department, and the Department is not
aware of any other data collection relating to expenditure on
continuing care. Information on the number of people receiving
NHS Continuing Care, in each strategic health authority area,
is collected on an annual basis. The information is shown in Table
55.
2. The variation between authorities is
due to a number of factors. Currently the 28 SHAs each have eligibility
criteria for continuing care, which are set and applied locally.
The current consultation on a national framework for continuing
care aims to bring these together in a single consistent approach
to decision-making. Since eligibility for continuing care is based
on a person's care needs, higher numbers would be expected in
areas with larger populations of people likely to have long-term
health needs. There is also some variation in how areas have recorded
these numbers.
