Since October 2001, everyone in need, regardless of setting and means, is eligible for NHS-paid care from a registered nurse. This section contains futher information and legislation, plus a number of guidance documents - including some that cover people currently paying the costs of their care, sometimes referred to as self-funders.
This revised version of the practice guide sets out best practice guidance for NHS-funded nursing care together with details of the process for determining eligibility.
From 1 April 2010, NHS-funded Nursing Care payment rates will increase by 2.25%. Details of the revised rates are given in the advice note.
