With decades of experience acting for local authorities and for healthcare providers and commissioners all over the country, we understand the pressures to deliver more for less are greater than ever, with rising demand and expectations against a background of unprecedented austerity.
Inevitably, this leads to tension and disputes at the front line, both about whether a patient or service user is entitled to particular care at all, and whether it is to be paid for by health or by social care, or by which local authority or CCG.
For example, few decisions have so large an impact on the budgets of CCGs as the assessment of whether or not a patient is eligible for fully funded NHS continuing healthcare. And few issues are as emotive for patients and their families as having to sell a family home to pay for long term costs of care.
Our expertise in public law and judicial review, as well as the delivery of services at the front line, means we can help you deal with these issues, including managing the potential media and reputational risks, and claims.
