Fast Track NHS Continuing Health Care

[Penny]

I am taking the bull by the horns and seeing if I can get this for my Mum. She has really deteriorated in the past few weeks.

Has anybody on here been successful?

[Penny]

I filled in as much of the form as I could, dropped them at the medical centre. A GP rang me and said he knew nothing at all about Continuing Health Care but said he looked up Fasttrack CHC and did I know it was for end of life patients. I corrected him and he was very polite and listened to what I read out to him and said he will go and see her on Monday and I am to ring him on Tuesday.

CHC is kept very quiet here but my SIL in Leicestershire told me that they were TOLD about it and got it for her MIL for a long time and also for her Mum but that was only for a few weeks until she passed away.

Pet's husband had CHC - might be worth dropping her a PM.

Penny, maybe download details of the Poynton (might be Pointon) CHC case for the GP?
You shouldn't have to do this though, so annoying when they know nothing about this aspect of their duties.
