NHS cash to tackle row over long-term care - Guardian

Extract:

"The government has agreed to provide £220m a year from the NHS budget to resolve a long-running row about who pays for the continuing care of patients transferred from hospital to nursing homes.

Ivan Lewis, the care services minister, said yesterday that the decision would help up to 10,000 people with severe dementia or other incapacitating conditions, who were liable to pay for intensive support to carry out the basic routines of daily life.

Mr Lewis said the aim was to eliminate a postcode lottery whereby older people in some parts of England were provided with free care, while others who might be in greater need were denied it."
