Enquiry re previously un-assessed eligibility for NHS Continuing Healthcare funding
Dear NHS North Cumbria Clinical Commissioning Group,
Sir David Nicholson, then Chief Executive of the NHS in England,
requested in a letter on 15/03/2012 that individuals or their
representatives notify the relevant PCT in respect of previously
un-assessed periods of time where there is evidence that the individual
should have been assessed for eligibility for NHS CHC funding with respect
to that care.
1/. Please let me know how many applications were received by the CCG, and/or the PCT it replaced, before the first deadline Sir David gave in that letter, ie 30/12/2012?
2/. Of those applications received, how many reached the stage of being
processed by the CCG, and/or the PCT it replaced?
3/. Of those which reached the stage of being processed by the CCG, and/or the PCT it replaced, how many have so far resulted in a Decision Letter?
4/. Of those which have reached the stage of a Decision Letter, how many
applications have been refused?
5/. Of those which have reached the stage of a Decision Letter, how many
applications have been refused for reasons relating to original documents
or records having been lost or destroyed?
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Wain

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

To Andrew
Thank you for your email, and I am sorry for the delay in providing this response to you.
Please see attached the full response to your freedom of information request. As mentioned in the request, it has taken longer than hoped to draw this information together for you due to it coming from a date prior to the formation of the CCG.
I hope that the information is helpful, and again please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused by the delay.
Kind regards
