PAYING FOR SPECIALIST CARE

In paying for acute or specialist care, it is vitally important to first of all determine the extent of any state funding entitlement as in some cases this will meet the full cost of care.

In circumstances where there is a requirement for some or all of the cost to be met by the individual, specialist advise should be sought.

In some circumstances, charitable or voluntary services may be available to assist with a specialist care need without charge to the individual. This might typically include MacMillan Nurses and hospice accommodation.
