NHS continuing healthcare

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

A Westminster Hall debate on NHS continuing healthcare, sponsored by Ayoub Khan MP for Birmingham Perry Barr. This will examine the policy, provision, and challenges around NHS-funded continuing healthcare for patients with complex needs who require ongoing medical care outside hospital settings.

NHS continuing healthcare is a critical issue affecting thousands of patients transitioning from hospital to community care and their families. The debate will likely address funding gaps, eligibility assessments, and service quality—matters that directly impact vulnerable patients' access to care and local NHS budgets across England.
