MDT Meeting Advice

We helped with

MDT Meeting

The family approached Farley Dwek Solicitors for advice following a Multi-Disciplinary Team meeting (MDT), which recommended their relative did not meet the criteria for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding (CHC). We obtained care and medical records, which were reviewed by one of our specialist Nurse Assessors, who recommended the family appeal.

We lodged an appeal against the decision of ineligibility with the NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB), providing full Written Submissions in support, along with a copy of the evidence we had obtained.

While the ICB was considering the appeal, the patient’s condition deteriorated further, and it was agreed another assessment for CHC Funding was needed. Sadly, due to a significant delay on the part of the ICB, the patient passed away without any further consideration for CHC Funding.

Seven months after receiving our appeal, the ICB overturned its decision of ineligibility, without even convening a Local Resolution Meeting.

What a shame the ICB did not make the correct decision to award CHC at the initial point of assessment, saving the family much grief and expense, at a time when they should have been focused on their fragile relative.

"A sound investment! I had researched a number of firms offering assistance to help secure CHC funding for our Mum. I was very glad I chose Farley Dwek. Both my brother and I are retired solicitors and are able plough our way through regulatory material and legislation, However, neither of us had any experience in this area of law. I really appreciated Farley Dwek’s transparent and sensible advice. I would recommend doing the initial screening exercise with one of their nurses, we had the excellent Diane Jenkins for screening (and eventual support at the MDT)."

CHC client

"Fantastic service from all of the team at Farley Dwek. The case was a minefield to us but with FD’s expertise and compassion a very positive result. No hidden fees at all. Again our sincere thanks for all of your help and support. The result was what we had been hoping for. They clearly have a specific expertise in this area and I’m very glad that I sought their advice."

CHC client

"We approached Farley Dwek for help in appealing a faulty CHC funding decision. Highly impressed with the in-depth & very detailed investigation by their expert nursing practitioner. Eventually we got a very good result which was entirely the result of FD’s work. Definitely recommended."

"From first contact with the managing partner Andrew Farley and Ruth Pople, Senior Case Manager , Farley Dwek appeared to be a very well organised Law firm. The staff is very professional and takes all the time to explain sometimes complicated situations."

CHC client

"My sister and I have received absolutely first class professional support, guidance and advice throughout an extended period of time, seeking CHC on behalf of our mother. Every member of the team, with whom we had various communications with, were professional, courteous, and clear. The process is a challenging one and without their guidance, support and expert knowledge we would not have achieved the successful outcome that we did. We cannot recommend them enough."
