Continuing Care for Children and Young People
Children and young people’s continuing care is a term that describes a tailor made package of support needed over an extended period of time for children and young people with complex health needs which arise because of a disability, accident or illness. This is for children and young people, aged 0-18 years, that despite accessing all available support from health services as part of the Local Offer for Halton a tailor made package of support is still required to meet their health care needs.
 
 
Detailed information about this can be found under the heading of ‘Continuing Care for Children and Young People’ on the NHS Halton CCG website and also please see below the NHS Halton CCG Standard Operating Procedure guide covering this.
