Long term conditions National Service Framework
The National Service Framework for long-term conditions focuses on the needs of people with neurological conditions and brain or spinal injuries, calling for joint working across all agencies, including providers of transport, housing, employment, education, benefits and pensions, to support people to live independently. It also addresses issues relevant to a wide range of people with long-term conditions and disabilities.
This NSF was developed for a more devolved NHS. Instead of national targets, the NSF provides quality requirements for the inspection authorities - the Heathcare Commission and the Commission for Social Care Inspection - to use in measuring local progress. This NSF is intended to be used by patients and professionals.
