Continuing Healtcare for Spinal Cord Injury

The request was refused by Leicester City Primary Care Trust (PCT).

Dear Leicester City Primary Care Trust (PCT),

Thank you very much for your response to my original FOI request of June 10th. In the light of your response, would it be possible to answer a modified version of the questions, still specific to Spinal Cord Injury yet not specific on level of injury. Please see modified questions below.

1) How many applications for NHS Continuing Healthcare have been received from spinal cord injured people since October 1st 2009?

2) How many applications for NHS Continuing Healthcare from or on behalf of spinal cord injured people have
(a) resulted in determinations of eligibility and (b) how many have resulted in determinations of ineligibility since October 1st 2009?

3) How many spinal cord injured people who were in receipt of NHS Continuing Healthcare funding prior to the 1st of October 2009 have since been assessed as ineligible after review assessment?

Thank you for your help.

Yours faithfully,

Dan Burden
Head of Public Affairs
