Accessibly highlighting the letter and spirit of the law for a range of practitioners, the book's A-Z format provides quick reference to legislation, guidance and cases. It also contains a detailed analysis of NHS continuing healthcare over the past 30 years. This is critical to understanding its complex, confusing rules and counter-intuitive outcomes. The book is essential reading to assist with making continuing healthcare decisions that are fair, lawful and transparent" -- ER -
