Children’s Continuing Care

Information on Children's Continuing Care services for professionals, and for young people and their parents and carers.

The purpose of continuing care funding is to specifically meet the identified health needs of a child or young person aged 0-17 years (up to their 18th birthday). Some children and young people may have complex health needs, which cannot be met by the services that are routinely available from primary care, secondary care and other community services.
