NHS Funded Care NHS funding for care is considered under the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care November 2012 (Revised). The purpose of the National Framework is to provide for fair and consistent access to NHS funding across England, regardless of location, so that individuals with equal needs should have an equal chance of getting their care funded by the NHS. By law, local authorities cannot directly provide registered nursing care. For individuals in Care Homes with nursing, Registered Nurses are usually employed by the Care Home itself and, in order to fund this nursing care, the NHS makes a payment. This payment is called Funded Nursing Care. Payments will only be made in respect of Residents receiving nursing. Registered nursing can involve many different aspects of care. It can include direct nursing tasks as well as the planning, supervision and monitoring of nursing and healthcare tasks to meet needs. Residents will receive NHS-funded nursing care if:  They are resident within a Care Home that is registered to provide nursing care, and  They do not qualify for NHS continuing healthcare but have been assessed as requiring the services of a Registered Nurse.
