CHC - NHS Continuing Healthcare

Some people with long-term complex health needs qualify for free health and social care arranged and funded solely by the NHS. This is known as NHS continuing healthcare (CHC). 

CHC supports people aged 18 and over with long-term ongoing health needs from a disability, accident or illness. People who are eligible get a package of NHS-funded care that meets their care needs outside of hospital, for example in their own home or care home. 

Your eligibility depends on your needs and not on any particular diagnosis or condition. This means that you will need to be assessed by a team of healthcare professionals to find out if you are eligible for CHC. 

CHC is free, unlike local council support where charges may be made depending on a person’s income and savings. 

Visit our Continuing Healthcare page for more information about: 

• eligibility 

• assessment 

• care and support planning 

• how care and support needs are reviewed 

• how to appeal if you disagree with a decision

Some children and young people may have very complex health needs that require additional health support – continuing care.  For example, they may have a disability, have had an accident or illness.
