Assisting You with NHS Disputes

Anyone who has suffered a mental or physical injury is entitled to free health care funding from their local healthcare authority as long as they are resident in the UK. At grievancehearings.co.uk, we can assist with filing NHS disputes for clients in Kettering and throughout the UK.

CONTINUING NHS HEALTHCARE FUNDING DISPUTE RESOLUTION

The primary problem when it comes to accessing NHS funding is government cutbacks. Nurses, doctors, social workers and other qualified healthcare professionals are not averse to saving funds if they believe that the patient/ resident is stable health wise. This can be seen as a ‘tick box’ exercise that is ambivalent at best and subjective at worst. This screening suggests that you may be eligible for NHS continuing healthcare and a full, up to date assessment of your needs will be arranged using the Decision Support Tool.

This can be used to decide whether you should be referred for a full assessment and helps healthcare professionals to work out whether your needs are high enough for continuing healthcare. After the initial screening, your local clinical commissioning group will write to you to confirm whether you will be referred for a full assessment for NHS continuing healthcare.

FULL ASSESSMENT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

If you are eligible, a full assessment will be carried out by a multi-disciplinary team made up of a minimum of two different healthcare professionals who are already involved in your care to build an overall picture of your needs. In some cases, more detailed specialist assessments may be required from these professionals.

The following information from your assessment will be used to complete the decision support tool. This is used to assess whether your main or primary care needs relate to your health. The areas include:

  • Behaviour
  • Cognition (understanding)
  • Communication
  • Psychological and emotional needs
  • Mobility (ability to move around)
  • Nutrition (food and drink)
  • Continence
  • Skin (including wounds and ulcers)
  • Breathing
  • Symptom control through drug therapies and medication
  • Altered states of consciousness
  • Other significant needs

The first step is a screening stage where a nurse, doctor, social worker or another healthcare professional will evaluate the individual’s needs against a tick box sheet. If this indicates that the resident may have the relevant medical care needs to qualify for continuing healthcare, a full assessment will be coordinated by your local CCG. Approximately 8 times out of 10, the assessors arrive at the wrong conclusion about the state of your health because the questions raised in the checklist are both ambivalent and subjective.

If you are unhappy with the outcome of your screening checklist or full assessment, you have the option of appealing the decision at either stage. The team at grievancehearings.co.uk are geared up to represent you or your loved ones at each stage of the appeal process on a no win, no fee of 30%, no VAT plus an administrative fee of £350.00 plus travel expenses if necessary. On successful completion of the case, you will be able to claim compensation for the sum of money you’ve had to pay out for the upkeep of your healthcare needs.
