Are you entitled to free care?

People who believe their care should have been funded by the NHS, are being encouraged by the Welsh Government to register their intent to make a claim.  Continuing NHS Healthcare is a package of care provided free-of-charge by the NHS for those people with complex & primarily health-based needs.  This can be provided in a care home or an individual’s own home.

People who think they, or someone they care for, may have been eligible for Continuing NHS Healthcare but paid for all, or part, of their care can submit a claim.  Potential claimants have until 31 October 2016 to register their intent to make a claim for continuing healthcare costs which were incurred between 1 October 2014 and 30 October 2015.
