Mrs. Roche

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what action her Department is taking to ensure that health authorities abide by the requirements of HSG(95)8, NHS responsibilities for long-term care. [21273]

Mr. Bowis

As part of the implementation of HSG(95)8 all health authorities are required to draw up and publish local policies and eligibility criteria. The National Health Service Executive will monitor these closely to ensure that they meet the national framework of requirements set out in HSG(95)8.
