27Policy Details
14.1 When a person requires nursing care, the NHS will arrange to carry out a nursing care assessment and may contribute some of the cost of care. This is known as Funded Nursing Care (FNC).
14.2 FNC is separate from the council’s contribution towards care. It will not change a person’s client contribution, as the FNC cover the nursing element of care only.
14.3 Some people may be eligible for full NHS funding called Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
14.4 When a person is eligible for CHC, the person is not expected to contribute towards their care package. More information can be found here:
