My Legal Action Group magazine, in an article on continuing care, suggests the following:
“Potentially it is useful for both PCTs and those advising individuals wishing to challenge eligibility decisions to check their local eligibility patterns. Unusual patterns may well indicate problems with local processes and policies which need to be addressed.”
The Department of Health publishes the eligibility rates for each PCT at the moment (please note that PCTs vanish next year to be replaced by Clinical Commissioning Groups).
