NHS Dorset (Integrated Care Board)

Some children or young people with long-term complex health needs may require a package of continuing care to meet those health needs which cannot be met by existing NHS services.

If your child or young person’s needs change then their eligibility for continuing care will require review. The introduction of a local service which can meet some or all of their needs may also result in changes to their continuing care package. You as the parent or person with parental responsibility will be fully involved in the assessment process and kept informed and have your views about your child or young person’s needs and support taken into account.
